Adrian Nelson, who joined JL Bourg in the summer of 2024 from German club Bamberg, will continue with the team for the upcoming season. Nelson averaged 9.4 points and 4.7 rebounds during the 2024-2025 season but was sidelined for the entirety of the 2025-2026 season due to injury. JL Bourg has supported him throughout his rehabilitation process and has now extended his contract.
“Adrian is a player who is endearing and committed to JL,” commented sporting general manager François Lamy. “Since his arrival, he has consistently demonstrated remarkable work ethic and volume. In a less successful collective season last year, he managed to stand out. His injury was a stroke of bad luck, but we decided to support him in his return next season, and even to offer him the opportunity to develop his understanding of the game by being closer to the staff this season in match preparation and video analysis. We are delighted that he wished to re-engage with us, and he will be a guarantor of continuity and a testament to the quality of work of our technical and medical staff, who will have supported him all season with great commitment.”
