In order to replace Edwin Jackson, injured in his hamstring, ASVEL announced the arrival as a medical joker of Andre Roberson, former Oklahoma City Thunder player, recently played by Cholet.
This is a big blow that ASVEL has just achieved, currently second in Betclic Elite (5 wins, 2 losses) and fifteenth in the Euroleague (2 wins, 5 losses). The club chaired by Tony Parker has obtained the signing of Andre Roberson, a player who has no less than 333 NBA games. The almost 33-year-old full-back (or winger) signed up as a medical joker, to replace Edwin Jackson, who suffers from a partial injury to a left hamstring tendon and will be away from the field for a duration of approximately six weeks. Andre Roberson has just completed another medical joker contract, on the Cholet side, replacing Aaron Wheeler. A freelance that he concluded in a masterful way on Sunday with… 19 points scored on the ASVEL floor! The New Mexico native will have played five games for CB, averaging 12.2 points and 5.4 rebounds, and greatly contributed to placing the Mauges club at the top of the Betclic Elite rankings. And it is therefore on the side of ASVEL that he will try to shine from now on.
Schofield is leaving
Andre Roberson comes in with plenty of experience, and was considered an elite defender in the NBA. Drafted 26th in 2013 by Minnesota, he was sent immediately to Oklahoma City, where he played until 2020, before leaving for Brooklyn, where he only played five games. He then struggled in the G-League, before seizing his chance with Cholet and making a name for himself again in world basketball. Furthermore, according to information from Be BasketASVEL will part ways with its 27-year-old American-British winger (or strong winger) Admiral Schofield, who has not convinced the Villeurbanne staff, with his 7.7 points on average since the start of the season. Despite his NBA past (131 games with Orlando and Washington), the Londoner did not manage to integrate for his first experience in Europe.

**Interview with Basketball Analyst: Andre Roberson’s EuroLeague Debut with ASVEL**
**Interviewer:** Welcome, everyone! Today we have basketball analyst James Carter with us to discuss the recent signing of Andre Roberson by ASVEL and what this means for the team. James, thanks for joining us!
**James Carter:** Thanks for having me! Exciting times in EuroLeague basketball.
**Interviewer:** Let’s dive right in. ASVEL has signed Andre Roberson as a medical replacement for Edwin Jackson. What are your thoughts on this move?
**James Carter:** It’s a significant acquisition for ASVEL, especially given the current challenges they face in both Betclic Elite and EuroLeague. Roberson brings a wealth of experience from the NBA, having played over 333 games. His defensive capabilities can really help strengthen ASVEL’s lineup.
**Interviewer:** Definitely. Roberson is known for his defense. How do you think his skill set will complement the current ASVEL squad?
**James Carter:** He’s particularly strong in perimeter defense, which is crucial in today’s game. ASVEL currently ranks lower in the EuroLeague standings, so adding a player with Roberson’s experience and ability to guard multiple positions could be a game-changer. Plus, he can provide veteran leadership in the locker room.
**Interviewer:** It’s interesting to see a player transition from the NBA to EuroLeague. How do you think Roberson will adjust to this level of competition?
**James Carter:** The transition can be challenging, but Roberson’s experience in high-pressure situations during his NBA career should help. He’s also coming off a stint with Cholet, which means he’s not entirely out of the competitive loop. His focus will be on adapting to European play styles, but I expect him to make an impact relatively quickly.
**Interviewer:** ASVEL currently sits second in Betclic Elite but struggles in EuroLeague. Do you think Roberson can help them turn the season around?
**James Carter:** I believe so. If Roberson can step up defensively and help facilitate ball movement on offense, he could be the spark they need. Additionally, he can help balance the roster while Edwin Jackson recovers from his injury. This move shows ASVEL’s commitment to competing at a higher level, and I think it could pay off.
**Interviewer:** Great insights, James. Any final thoughts on what fans should watch for in Roberson’s debut?
**James Carter:** Fans should keep an eye on his defensive matchups and how he communicates with his teammates. Also, look for his ability to create fast breaks through steals or rebounds. His performance could set the tone for the rest of the season!
**Interviewer:** Thanks, James, for your analysis! We’re all excited to see how Andre Roberson impacts ASVEL moving forward.
**James Carter:** Anytime! It’s going to be an exciting journey.
