Basketball: Frenchwoman Janelle Salaün “very disappointed” by the Federation which refuses her to attend her brother’s NBA draft

This is perhaps the start of a new affair which the French Basketball Federation (FFBB) would have done well without, a year after that concerning Marine Johannès. In an interview with Quotidien du Sport, Janelle Salaün was asked about her presence or not at the 2024 NBA draft, scheduled for June 26. His little brother Tidjane will make the big leap to the American league. The strong winger from Cholet, aged 18, could be among the fifteen, or even the first ten players chosen.

“I have already asked” the FFBB, “unfortunately I have already been told no,” confided Janelle Salaün. She will then be in preparation with the French team for the Paris 2024 Olympic Games. “I am very disappointed,” added the 22-year-old player. It's an event that only happens once in a lifetime. We are very close with my brother.

Relaunched on the idea of ​​insisting to the FFBB, the Villeneuve-d’Ascq winger was subtle: “I am counting on you, the media, to relay the information.” The Blues will play their first preparation match for the 2024 Olympics on June 29, three days after the NBA draft, against Finland in Mouilleron-le-Captif (Vendée). The group stage of the Olympic tournament will begin on July 29.

Last year, the FFBB had a falling out with its star back Marine Johannès. The latter had wanted to make a return trip to the United States at the start of preparation for Euro 2023, in order to sign her contract with the New York Liberty in the WNBA. Following the refusal of the FFBB, Johannès ultimately did not take part in the European Championship with the Bleues. “There has never been a Johannès affair, there will not be one in the future,” said the president of the FFBB, Jean-Pierre Siutat, in October.
