Overview
- Paris Basketball announced the signing of 26-year-old guard Tyson Etienne on Thursday, July 16, 2026, confirming he will join the club for the 2026–27 season.
- The move followed the Brooklyn Nets' choice not to extend a qualifying offer, which made Etienne an unrestricted free agent and eligible to sign overseas.
- Etienne is a Wichita State graduate who spent his first pro seasons in the G League with the College Park Skyhawks and Long Island Nets before appearing in 24 NBA games last season.
- Last season he averaged about 7.9 points and 1.7 assists in 15.8 minutes per game for Brooklyn while producing high-volume scoring in the G League; Paris did not disclose financial terms of the contract.
- The signing gives Etienne his first EuroLeague opportunity and fits a growing pattern of young NBA-experienced players moving to Europe to secure bigger roles and steady playing time, which could raise his profile for future seasons.
