Monaco's victory over Strasbourg, initially nullified due to Jaron Blossomgame's improper registration, has been restored following the recent decision by the Discipline Section of the French Basketball Federation.

Jaron Blossomgame

Jaron  Blossomgame
Jaron  Blossomgame
MIN: 18.47
PTS: 6.44 (50.93%)
REB: 3.18
As: 0.29
ST: 0.35
BL: 0.24
TO: 0.29
GM: 34

This decision overturns the earlier ruling of the French Basketball League (LNB) and affirms Monaco's position at the top of the LNB standings, solidifying their regular-season win.

Previously, Monaco's triumph against Strasbourg was forfeited after it was discovered that Blossomgame, serving a suspension, had been improperly included in the lineup. The 92-78 victory was initially overturned, temporarily impacting Monaco's league standing.

However, Monaco appealed the decision to the Discipline Section of the French Basketball Federation and emerged victorious.

With 27 wins in 31 games, Monaco has solidified its position, ensuring that it cannot be surpassed in securing the first seed in the standings during the remaining rounds of the regular season

This decision has complicated Strasbourg's standing in the playoffs race, weakening their position with five rounds remaining.
