The Alliance Sport Alsace (ASA) is facing several player absences as it prepares for its upcoming match against Quimper in the third round of ÉLITE 2, a professional basketball league in France. Idrissa Ba and Vasilije Bacovic have been out since the start of the season, and Jaden Bediako, who was brought in as a medical pigiste—essentially a backup or training player for Bacovic—has also been sidelined due to a knee injury. This means the team will lack a true center for their game on Saturday, October 10. Coach Nebojsa Bogavac is working to reorganize his squad to compensate for these absences. While Ba and Bacovic are expected to return gradually starting next week, the club is being cautious and will not take unnecessary risks with those players. In the meantime, Bogavac is relying on the versatility of several players to fill the void. To address the lack of interior options, Bogavac is asking Louis Cassier and Allan Jeanne-Rose to play as centers, while Killian Malwaya is also taking on the role of a four, or power forward. These adjustments have already shown results in the team's first league win of the season against Antibes, where they defeated the team 85-74. Bogavac mentioned in the Dernières Nouvelles d'Alsace that the players are accepting these new roles, even though they are not their natural positions, for the benefit of the team. The team's collective effort was evident in their rebound dominance against Antibes despite the absence of their usual centers. After a season-opening loss to La Rochelle (98-88), the ASA secured its first league victory against Antibes. This Saturday, they will attempt to extend their winning streak at Quimper, which has lost its first two league games. Bogavac emphasized the importance of maintaining the intensity and mindset shown in the previous match, despite limited rotations.
