Four former Parisian players return to the adidas Arena

Published on September 26, 2026

This is unprecedented in the history of Paris Basketball ! Next Tuesday, four former Paris players will be taking on us at the adidas Arena on Matchday 2 of the EuroLeague against Partizan Belgrade. But who are they ?

Kyle Allman Jr.

He is the only player on this list to have been part of Paris Basketball’s very first seasons in the top flight of French basketball. This American-born offensive talent immediately lit up the courts at the Halle Carpentier upon his arrival in 2021. During his two seasons in our colours, Kyle showcased his wide-ranging offensive skills, as evidenced by his 15-point average. Having since played for Darussafaka, Besiktas and Turk Telekom, the shooting guard will make his EuroLeague debut with Partizan.

Kevarrius Hayes

He is the only French champion on this list. In the space of a single season, the centre has left an indelible mark on Paris Basketball. Undoubtedly well advised by the former San Antonio Spurs centre – Tiago Splitter – Kev quickly made his mark in the capital. Having joined in the summer of 2024, he played a part in our superb EuroLeague campaign, won the French Cup and, above all, lifted the Betclic ÉLITE trophy. Previously at Monaco, he is now ready to take on a new challenge at Partizan.

Lamar Stevens

He is the only player on this list to have played in the NBA. It was at Paris Basketball that the former Memphis Grizzlies player discovered Europe during the 2025–2026 season. Hindered by an injury right from the start, Lamar had little time to settle in. Thrown straight into the deep end, Mr Tomar produced some impressive moments. His form went from strength to strength, as illustrated by the 24 points he scored in Game 4 of the Betclic ÉLITE Finals. His second season in Europe will this time take place in Belgrade.

Derek Willis

He is the player on this list to have attended the most prestigious university. Having come through the ranks at the Kentucky Wildcats, the power forward made his EuroLeague debut with Anadolu Efes. Two years later, he found himself at Paris Basketball. Despite a few niggles, his ability to finish just as effectively close to the basket as from further out has treated us to some fine performances, such as his 22 points against Dubai. A new chapter in his career is now beginning at Partizan.
