More than two years later, Paris Basket will play again on the floor of the Accor Arena. The capital club will welcome Monaco there on March 20 (23rd day of Betclic Elite).

Paris basketball will return to the Accor Arena. More than two years after its last appearance on the floor of the famous sports hall at Porte de Bercy, the capital club will play there again on March 20. The promoted Betclic Elite, who currently plays his home matches at the Halle Georges-Carpentier (he will migrate to the Arena, Porte de la Chapelle, in September 2023), will indeed host the European champion Monaco at the AccorArena as part of the 23rd day of the championship. The meeting, initially scheduled in the usual venue where the Parisians perform, will mark the great return of former Pro B residents since the January 27, 2020 meeting against Aix-Maurienne. Paris Basket was still evolving at the lower level. And that evening, the locals had bowed heavily (102-83) to the Savoyards during the 16th day of Pro B despite the support of the 5,500 spectators who had gathered in the stands of the AccorArena.

Bégarin will get ahead of his teammates on December 29

We must therefore hope for Juhann Bégarin, selected for the dunk competition of the next All Star Game, on December 29 in this same AccorArena, and his teammates that the room which had long been called the Palais omnisport Paris-Bercy will this time bring luck. to the current poorly ranked Betclic Elite. After his relapse, last weekend on the floor of Bourg-en-Bresse (93-70, 10th day of the championship), Paris Basket is again at the gates of the relegation zone, with the same record ( 3 wins – 7 losses) than the penultimate Cholet and only one more victory compared to the red lantern Le Portel. Friday evening, the Parisians, who remain at home on two victories, against Pau-Lacq-Orthez and ASVEL, reigning French champion, will host the last of the Le Portel classification, on behalf of the 11th day. A meeting that takes place at the Halle Carpentier, three months before making Bercy vibrate again.
