Wikipedia - Metropolitans 92

Metropolitans 92 is a French professional basketball club that is based in Levallois-Perret, in the Paris metropolitan area. The club currently plays in the LNB Pro A, the highest-tier level in French basketball.

The club was established in 2007, as Paris-Levallois Basket. Its home arena is the Palais des sports Marcel Cerdan, which has a seating capacity of 4,000 people. Levallois has won two titles thus far, winning the French Federation Cup and the Match des Champions (French Supercup), both in 2013.

The team is most known for being the former club of Victor Wembanyama, who went on to play in the National Basketball Association (NBA) after being selected number one in the 2023 NBA draft after his sole season with Metropolitans. In 2024, the team, after finishing in last place, was relegated to the Nationale Masculine 1 league.

History

Named after the French Revolution, the club was founded in its current form in 2007, with the merger of Paris Basket Racing, from the city of Paris, and Levallois Sporting Club Basket, from the nearby commune of Levallois-Perret, and started to play with the name of Paris-Levallois Basket. The club retains all of the history and titles of Paris Basket Racing and Levallois Sporting Club Basket.

Despite beginning in the top-tier level of French basketball, the LNB Pro A, Paris-Levallois was relegated to the French second-tier level LNB Pro B, after finishing second from the bottom in the 2007–08 season. The club returned to the Pro A at the first opportunity, by claiming the league promotion from the Pro B in the 2008–09 season. Since then, the club has played in the top tier of French basketball.

On 5 July 2017, the club's board of directors agreed to change the name of the club to Levallois Metropolitans. On 4 July 2019, former NBA player Boris Diaw was announced as the club's new president, succeeding Jean-Pierre Aubry.

In the 2022–23 season, French young star Victor Wembanyama joined the team from ASVEL. Wenbanyama was widely projected to be the number one pick in the 2023 NBA draft. In October 2022, the Metropolitans 92 played two exhibition games against the NBA G League Ignite in the United States, giving the club greater international exposure. In the 2023 NBA draft, two of the team's players were selected in the top 10 of the draft, with Victor Wembanyama being selected #1 by the San Antonio Spurs and Bilal Coulibaly being selected seventh overall by the Indiana Pacers and then traded to the Washington Wizards.

The following season after Wembanyama's departure, Metropolitans struggled in the 2023–24 LNB Élite season. The team finished last in the league standing and was relegated to the LNB Pro B. The team's mother organization was previously funded by the Boulogne-Billancourt municipality, however, the municipality decided to cut the basketball club from its costs and searched for investors that were interested in purchasing the team. In May 2024, it was announced that the team had gone bankrupt. However, in order to mitigate the problem, the club decided to drop out of playing in the LNB Pro B that season and instead demote themselves further downward into the Nationale Masculine 1.
