The news about the condition of Jeanne were a shock to everyone and after Strasbourg’s win and qualification to the French ProA finals, Ntinikila had something to say to him.
The two young players have been teammates in the junior national teams of French and Ntinikila’s statement at SFR after the game was the following: “Today we have learned something that’s a bit painful to the heart. I think about my guy Jonathan Jeanne. The message you sent me made me happy and you must know that I did it for you. We all think of you, the whole French basketball, we’re all behind you”.
Ntilikina is expected to be a lottery pick in the upcoming NBA draft, while Jeanne after being diagnosed with Marfan syndrome, despite being also a first round prospect, may have to prematurely retire from basketball.
