Who is Aurélie Batum, 2nd Wife of Nicolas Batum? His Parents, Family, Salary, Jersey

French basketball player Nicolas Batum plays for the NBA’s Los Angeles Clippers. He won a silver medal at the Tokyo 2020 Summer Olympics while competing for the French national team. When he entered the 2008 NBA draft, Nicolas Batum was regarded as one of the most gifted young players in Europe. He was ranked #17 among international players born in 1988 by the scouting website DraftExpress.com.

The junior French national team, which included Batum, won the 2004 FIBA Europe Under-16 Championship. He was voted the tournament’s MVP in 2006, the year when France won the gold medal in the FIBA Europe Under-18 competition. As a member of the French national team that won the 2006 Under-18 Albert Schweitzer Tournament in Mannheim, Germany, Batum was recognized as the event’s most valuable player.

Batum was traded to the Portland Trail Blazers in exchange for the rights to Darrell Arthur and Joey Dorsey after the Houston Rockets selected him with the 25th overall choice in the 2008 NBA Draft. After clearing waivers, Batum signed a contract with the Los Angeles Clippers on December 1, 2020. Batum re-signed with the Clippers on July 6, 2022, for a two-year contract.
