The French forward scored 21 points and Charlotte built a big early lead in beating the Sacramento Kings 131-111.
On the contrary, Turk Ersan Ilyasova scored 21 points for Atlanta and Dennis Schroder added 20 but the Suns got the close 104-103 win.
Of course, the big news of the day was Isaiah Thomas’ long-awaited debut for the Cavaliers, who snapped a three-game losing streak by beating the Portland Trail Blazers 127-110 on Tuesday night.
Here are last night’s results and the euro-scorers.
