Team France Wins Double-Overtime Thriller at Sold-Out Paris All Star Game

The showcase coincides with the LNB’s review of Monaco’s appeal over salary-cap fines.

Overview

  • Team France beat the World selection 165–159 after two overtimes at the Accor Arena in the LNB’s holiday showcase.
  • The event was a sellout with 15,912 spectators, extending the All Star Game’s long run of packed houses in Paris.
  • Anthony Labanca won the three-point contest, Joshua Uduje captured the dunk title, and Nadir Hifi took the one-on-one crown.
  • AS Monaco faces roughly €2.5 million in luxury-tax fines for wage-bill breaches, with a threat of playoff exclusion pending the club’s appeal to the federation.
  • LNB president Philippe Ausseur cited the NBAFIBA plan to begin steps in January toward a pan-European competition, highlighting potential visibility gains but warning about added fragmentation and the use of permanent team slots.
