There’s speculation that Dubai might soon feature a dynamic duo of French point guards. Following strong indications of Élie Okobo’s impending move to the United Arab Emirates, reports from Basketball Sphere now suggest that Dubai’s management is very close to finalizing a deal with Sylvain Francisco. For Francisco, this potential transfer is seen as a fallback option should his aspirations of signing with an NBA team this summer not materialize.
This rumor underscores the significant ambitions of the Emirati club, which aims to establish itself as a powerhouse in the Euroleague during its second season in the competition. Francisco’s addition would be a major step towards this goal, especially after his career-best season where he finished as the runner-up for the MVP award, just behind Sasha Vezenkov.
