And if Nicolas Batum’s “Last Dance” continued for one more season… This is what suggests The Inquirer which reports that the Sixers would like to extend three veterans of the squad: Kyle Lowry, Kelly Oubre Jr. and… Nicolas Batum. When we met him at the beginning of February, when he was injured, the Frenchman asked for time before making a decision for the future.
“Everyone asks me this question… [Il sourit] Let me get back from my injury already, we'll talk about the rest later. It's still too early, I'm still playing and I'm focusing on that. We'll see that later.” he replied.
After the Sixers' elimination against the Knicks, Batum did not discuss his future, but he shared his enthusiasm for having played for the Sixers. “The people have been great here, my teammates too, the staff, the fans, the city. It was pleasant. I had a lot of fun “, he confided. “One thing I learned: Philadelphia is not for everyone. It's hard. You have to be ready to play for this city and I loved it. It was nice. »
For Batum, the most important thing is to have his people close to him. His partner and his children Ayden and Nayeli remained in Los Angeles after his transfer to Philadelphia, and it is hard to imagine him being separated from his family for one more season.
