Paris Basketball Confirms Key Players for Next Season
As of July 8, 2026, Paris Basketball has yet to name its coach for the upcoming season. However, the Parisian club has reassured its fanbase by confirming through a statement that Nadir Hifi, Jared Rhoden, and Sebastian Herrera will continue to be part of the team. This announcement also includes the retention of "several other key players," in addition to the recently acquired talents, Terry Tarpey and Maozinha Pereira.
This news is a significant relief for Paris Basketball supporters. While Nadir Hifi has attracted interest from international clubs and has a contract extending until 2028, he remains focused on his future with Paris, although a potential move to the NBA is also being monitored.
The confirmation also clarifies the situation for Jared Rhoden. Having joined the team mid-season in November 2025, Rhoden had a promising rookie year in Euroleague, averaging 11.1 points and 2.9 rebounds in 21 minutes per game. This suggests he had signed a multi-year contract with the club.

Paris Basketball Confirms Presence of Nadir Hifi, Jared Rhoden, and Sebastian Herrera
As of July 8, 2026, Paris Basketball has not yet announced a coach for the upcoming season. However, the capital's club has confirmed in a statement addressed to its fans that it can still count on Nadir Hifi, Jared Rhoden, and Sebastian Herrera, as well as "several other key players" for the next season, in addition to new recruits Terry Tarpey and Maozinha Pereira.
This announcement is reassuring for Parisian fans, even though Nadir Hifi, who has been sought after abroad and is under contract until 2028, is keeping an eye on the NBA.
This also means that Jared Rhoden, who arrived mid-season in November 2025 and had a convincing rookie season in Euroleague (11.1 points, 2.9 rebounds in 21 minutes), had therefore signed a multi-year contract.
