Paris Basketball Seeks Third Straight Win Against Fenerbahce at Accor Arena

Paris Basketball vs. Fenerbahce Euroleague Accor Arena, Digi Mart USA News (Paris): Paris Basketball hosts Fenerbahce on Wednesday, November 11, at 8:45 p.m. at Accor Arena in Bercy, in its first home game of the season and in Round 11 of the Euroleague.

Paris arrives with three consecutive victories, all won away from its home arena, the Adidas Arena. However, the club has never beaten the Istanbul team in seven meetings.

After a start with only one win in seven rounds, coach Maxime Lefevre’s side regained momentum by winning in Dubai (93-99), then against Maccabi Tel Aviv at the Aleksandar Nikolic hall in Belgrade (94-99), and finally at Anadolu Efes (90-95). Paris now has a record of four wins and six losses.

At home, however, Paris has won only once in five games, against Zalgiris Kaunas (82-78) on October 1.

Nadir Hifi has carried this streak with 20, 26 and 28 points. In Istanbul, he added 6 rebounds and 9 assists for a 39 efficiency rating, earning MVP honors for Round 10.

Absent for Rounds 5, 6 and 7, he is averaging 22.1 points per game across seven Euroleague matches. He did not play Sunday in the comfortable 107-77 win over JL Bourg.

Fenerbahce, coached by Sarunas Jasikevicius, has seven wins and three losses. It lost in Athens to Panathinaikos (92-74), in Valencia (86-78), and in Madrid to Real Madrid (95-76), before beating Baskonia last Thursday (84-65), with 19 points from Talen Horton-Tucker.

Away from home, the Turkish club has won only once in four road games, at Piraeus against Olympiacos (61-64). It strengthened its roster in late October with former Dallas Mavericks center Dwight Powell.

Paris has never beaten Fenerbahce in the Euroleague. In the 2024-2025 season, Paris lost both regular-season meetings (83-87 at home, 101-100 in Istanbul), then lost its playoff series in three games (83-78 and 89-72 in Istanbul, 88-98 in Paris).

Last season, the Parisians lost 96-77 in Istanbul in the first round, then 90-92 at the Adidas Arena on February 5.

For this game, Paris Basketball has moved the match to Accor Arena, as it did last season for home games against Panathinaikos (95-101) and Crvena Zvezda Belgrade (102-92).
