According to a report, the 18-year-old forward is considering opting-out of his contract with LDLC ASVEL Villeurbanne and completing a move as a free agent to Paris Basketball. Wembanyama's exit clause is valid until June 26.

Last summer Wembanyama signed a 3-year contract, but injury problems and lack of minutes didn't allow him to showcase his full potential on the highest European level.

Last season, Wembanyama played in 13 EuroLeague games, averaging 17 minutes, 6.5 points, 3.8 rebounds, 1.9 blocks, and 5.5 PIR per game.

As L'Equipe reports, Paris Basketball are considered an option due to the opportunity to play more minutes and have a bigger role on the team.

Last season, Paris Basketball made its debut in the French LNB Pro A league and finished the season in 15th place.
