Steady progression in Pro B before Pau

After an initial adjustment season at Aix-Maurienne, Siriman Kanoute confirmed his potential during the 2024-2025 season. In 39 games played, the Malian point guard, formerly of SLUC Nancy, averaged 9.3 points, 2.4 rebounds, and 3.6 assists.

His consistency, ability to impact offensive play, and remarkable athletic qualities have convinced Pau-Lacq-Orthez to invest in him. The Béarnais club, aiming for a return to Betclic ELITE in the medium term, sees him as a locally trained player profile capable of bringing penetration and championship experience, provided he manages to play with more control…

But before definitively closing the Aix-Maurienne chapter, Kanoute and his teammates must fight to qualify for the promotion playoffs. Their play-in matchup against Poitiers is scheduled for this Friday, May 15.
