Let the Parisian derby begin !

Published on April 4, 2026

In a sold-out adidas Arena, Paris Basketball faces Nanterre 92 this Saturday at 9 p.m., with Nanterre without Mathis Dossou-Yovo, for the 25th round of Betclic ÉLITE.

The runner-up spot is at stake ! Neck and neck on the league podium, both Paris and Nanterre have a lot riding on tonight’s game. With the playoffs just weeks away, every place gained represents an advantage in the postseason jungle. Usually tough on their opponents, Julien Mahé’s squad will have to do without Mathis Dossou-Yovo. A notable absence given the MVP-caliber form of our former center.

It’s a shame because for Paris, our MVP candidate – Nadir Hifi – will be there and is currently riding a wave of success. After another stunning performance on Thursday in that incredible victory against Olimpia Milano (103-93), the Prince of Paris is leading a team in top form. Italy can certainly attest to that! With three wins in as many games, this Paris Basketball team, coached by Thomas, has been wreaking havoc lately. A fantastic run that they intend to extend against Nanterre !

Tonight’s adidas Arena is sold out. However, our Parisians will also be playing a crucial game at home on Saturday, May 2nd against Châlon. You can already purchase tickets for this match by clicking right here.
