Adou Thiero scored 7 points and 4 rebounds in his Lakers' loss.

"It was a hard fall, but I'm fine. I will definitely pay more attention to that, although there are situations in which it's difficult to worry about the landing. But, of course, it's something I still keep in mind," he said after the game to reassure the fans.

'Regarding his jumping ability, Thiero shared that "I’ve been improving in that area over the course of the summer and learning to identify when to use my athleticism... There are also times when I can jump surrounded by three players and still get a dunk. It’s simply about having confidence in myself and knowing what I can do in each situation".'
