Frank Ntilikina is set to join Nadir Hifi in Paris.
The deal between the 28-year-old point guard and the capital-based EuroLeague club was confirmed on Wednesday. The signing was officially announced through a promotional video featuring a conversation between the newcomer and 24-year-old Hifi.
A veteran of 321 NBA games, including 15 playoff appearances, Ntilikina returned to Europe in 2024, suiting up for Partizan Mozzart Bet and Olympiacos over the subsequent two seasons. This transition marks his return to France for the first time since 2017. That year, he departed SIG Strasbourg after being selected with the eighth overall pick in the 2017 NBA Draft, presented by State Farm.
