Michael Kessens returns to France!
Trained in Cholet, the Geneva native tried his luck in the USA in 2012. He played in the NCAA for Longwood University, Alabama University and Florida International University in 2016-2017.
Kessens returned to Europe and signed for Eisbären Bremerhaven in Germany, before joining Frankfurt Skylines in 2020. A year later, he joins Tuomas Iisalo at Telekom Baskets Bonn. There, the German neo-international won the Basketball Champions League.
