What happened: The French national team point guard leaves one month after arriving in Villeurbanne. Tony Parker confirmed the move Thursday as the club began reassessing its roster commitments.
Why it matters: ASVEL built its summer plans around a €59 million projection before lowering it to about €24 million. The reduction reshapes the club's roster and coaching plans for the coming EuroLeague season.
By the numbers: The projected budget fell €35 million, or roughly 59%, from €59 million to about €24 million. Francisco's three-year deal was valued at nearly €16 million.
What to watch: ASVEL's next roster decisions will show how much of its planned summer overhaul survives the cut.
