The multiplication of positive cases for Covid-19 is disrupting the preparation of many teams, all sports combined. Nanterre 92 basketball players are particularly affected by the consequences of the resumption of the coronavirus epidemic. Three of the Jeep Elite resident's four pre-season preparation games have been postponed.
The meetings against Évreux and Orléans had been canceled due to positive cases among the opponents of Nanterre. This time, it is a case in its own ranks which forced the Hauts-de-Seine club to deprogram its short trip to the Palais des Sports Marcel-Cerdan in Levallois, where he had to face his great rival of the Metropolitans de Boulogne- Levallois this Saturday at 6 p.m. "Following a suspected case of COVID-19 in the Nantes workforce, this afternoon's match on the Boulogne-Levallois floor is canceled in order to guarantee the safety of all", announced the Nanterre club at the end morning in a press release.

According to our information, it would be Chris Warren. The 31-year-old American leader signed his return to Nanterre in May after two memorable periods in the club, with a title of champion of France in 2013 and a double European Cup Fiba-Coupe de France in 2017. For two years, he evolved in Germany (in Bremerhaven) then in Turkey (in Orman).
"As part of the health prevention protocol set up jointly by Nanterre 92 and the National Basketball League, the entire workforce and staff will be tested again at the start of the week," Nanterre said in his press release.
To date, Pascal Donnadieu's men have therefore competed in only one trial gallop. It was last Wednesday against Châlons-Reims with an 87-71 victory. “Yes, it is a particular context, we suspected it and we are not disappointed, assured us before the meeting the Nantes captain Isaïa Cordinier. We move forward from day to day knowing that everything can be called into question at once. But we do with it, we don't really have a choice. "
