Facing her favorite player, Joan Behringer makes the most of her chance

Rudy Gobert suspended for game against BucksChris Finch therefore made another Frenchman responsible, Joan Beringerwho has only been entitled to a fraction of playing time since the start of the season…

The French rookie, who played only 62 minutes on NBA courts since arriving in the Big League, was eligible for 30 minutes in Milwaukee. For an excellent final performance, 13 points on 6/7 shooting, 5 rebounds, 2 assists and 1 steal. As well as +/- of +30!
