Tillie, the sole other French competitor on the court
Killian Tillie aided Memphis in securing their fourth consecutive triumph against San Antonio (118-105). Tillie tallied 5 points, along with 4 rebounds and 3 assists, in 24 minutes of gameplay. Yves Pons remained unused.
Three other French players watched from the bench on Friday: Frank Ntilikina sat out Dallas’s second game against Sacramento (a 112-96 win), sidelined by a left thigh bruise. A wounded ankle kept Nicolas Batum off the court for the Clippers, who hadn’t achieved consecutive wins since December 12th, suffering a loss to Toronto (116-108). Timothé Luwawu-Cabarrot, similarly absent, didn’t feature in Atlanta’s win over Cleveland (121-118).
