Fairell returning to French Pro B League
MBB: This will be his second time playing for the Denain Dragons
Jonathan Fairell will be returning to the French Pro B League next season to once again play for the Denain Dragons.
The French Pro B League is the second-tier of professional basketball in France. Fairell played five games for the Dragons during the 2018-19 season.
After finishing his Murray State career in 2015, Fairell started his professional journey in Austria for the 2015-16 season. Since then, he has spent at least part of six of the last seven seasons playing in the French Pro B League.
Last season, the 30-year-old Fairell played for Angers where he averaged 15.0 points and 6.3 rebounds per game.
The 6’7 forward has won a pair of championships in the French Pro B League — playing with Blois in 2018 and Fos in 2021.
