Change for Bilal Coulibaly on the edge of the land. According to specialist journalist Nick DePaulathe Frenchman from the Wizards has just signed with Jordan Brand for a shoe and clothing contract.
The announcement comes two months ahead of the Olympic Games. We can therefore imagine the winger, if he ended up in the final Olympic list, being equipped for the occasion.
We will remember that before his rookie season, Bilal Coulibaly signed up with Nike, as did 12 other rookies, including obviously Victor Wembanyama (Spurs), the twins Ausar and Amen Thompson (Pistons and Rockets) and even Brandon Miller (Hornets). The comma brand had signed seven players from the Top 10 of the last Draft.
Jordan Brand had remained discreet with Jaime Jaquez Jr. (Heat), Cam Whitmore (Rockets), Marcus Sasser (Pistons) and Jett Howard (Magic). The previous season, the Nike subsidiary had caught Paolo Banchero in its nets.
It’s also a tricolor double take for Jordan Brand since Dominique Malonga also joins the fold of the brand at Jumpman. At 18 years old, the Tarbes midfielder has just been elected “Best Prospect of the LFB” as well as in the top five of the season, with 11.9 points and 8.9 rebounds on average this season.
Like Bilal Coulibaly, she is part of the extended list of the French team ahead of the Olympic Games.
