Longest road trip ahead

Nanterre 92 is set to face BC Sabah in what will be the longest road trip of their season in the Basketball Champions League, traveling 4500 kilometers from France to Azerbaijan. The match is scheduled for Tuesday, October 27, and will be broadcast on Courtside 1891 via DAZN.

Nanterre's mixed start

Nanterre 92, led by Xavier Castañeda, had a mixed start to their European campaign, losing their opening match in Turkey but then defeating the reigning champions Rytas Vilnius at home. Their performance in the Betclic ELITE league has also been strong, with a recent victory over Cholet.

BC Sabah's challenges

In contrast, BC Sabah has struggled in their European debut, losing their first two matches against Rytas Vilnius and Trabzonspor. Despite this, Sabah has made some notable additions to their roster, including Tajuan Agee, who was recently crowned EuroCup champion with JL Bourg.

Coach's remark on the trip

Nanterre 92's coach, Julien Mahé, has humorously referred to the long journey as accumulating a "maximum of miles" for the season. If they win this match, Nanterre would improve their record to 2-1 in the Basketball Champions League, reinforcing their strong start to the season.
