Ismael Kamagate, a young French center, will play until the end of the season at Tortona on loan from Milano, with whom he has a contract until the end of the next season.
Ismael Kamagate joined the Milano at the beginning of the season. Prior to that, he wore the jersey of Paris for 4 years, and in 2022, he was named the best defensive player in the LNB Pro A league. In the same year, he was selected by the Detroit Pistons as the 46th pick in the NBA Draft but was immediately traded to the Denver Nuggets.
However, Kamagate did not receive a significant opportunity in the Milano jersey. In the EuroLeague, he has played only 9 games so far, with very limited playing time, averaging 1.1 points. The situation is slightly better in the Serie A, where he has played 11 games, scoring an average of 6.3 points.
With this move, Ettore Messina further narrows his rotation, as Milano is facing significant injury problems. Nikola Mirotic, Maodo Lo, Billy Baron are injured, while Shavon Shields is close to returning and could play as early as Friday when Milano visits Valencia.
