A setback for Cholet despite strong start
Friday evening, Cholet Basket confirmed their excellent start to the Betclic ELITE season by defeating Boulazac at home (92-81). With this second victory in as many games (2-0), the Mauges club settles in the upper rankings. However, the victory was overshadowed by bad news: Keshawn Justice’s unavailability for several weeks.

Justice’s quiet first game
Arriving this summer in Mauges, Keshawn Justice is discovering Europe after two seasons in the G-League with Salt Lake City. Previously at Santa Clara University, he showed promising qualities in his first official game at Meilleraie against Strasbourg (92-74), with 3 points and 4 rebounds in 19 minutes.

Cholet seeks new balance
Coach Fabrice Lefrançois will have to manage without one of his designated new leaders. The club is working behind the scenes to avoid a gap in the rotation, especially as the Betclic ELITE calendar looks challenging. The identity of the medical replacement expected in Mauges should be known soon.
