Paris Basketball have completed the signing of Frank Ntilikina, bringing the 28-year-old French guard back to his home country nine years after he crossed the Atlantic for the NBA. The club confirmed the move on Wednesday 12 August, announcing the arrival with a promotional video in which Ntilikina is welcomed by fellow playmaker Nadir Hifi.
The one-year deal returns Ntilikina to the Betclic Elite, the league he left in 2017 when the New York Knicks made him the eighth overall pick in the NBA draft. He arrives with a decorated CV: two Olympic silver medals with France, seven NBA seasons and, most recently, an EuroLeague title with Olympiacos, the reigning European champions he helped to the trophy in 2025-26.
Ntilikina spent 2024-25 with Partizan Mozzart Bet before moving to Piraeus last summer, and now becomes the latest addition to a Paris side that wants to keep pushing among the EuroLeague's front-runners. His defensive intensity and the experience gathered on both ends of the floor are expected to complement Hifi's scoring punch in the backcourt.
