LDLC ASVEL Villeurbanne strengthened its perimeter rotation with the signing of experienced swingman Braian Angola for the rest of the 2025–26 campaign.
Angola (1.98 meters, 31 years old) arrives in France after opening the season with Gran Canaria, where he averaged 8.8 points in 15 Spanish League games and added 13.2 points and 3.3 assists across six Basketball Champions League appearances.
The Colombian swingman brings scoring versatility, playmaking instincts and a proven track record across multiple European competitions. Before his stint in Spain this season, he posted strong numbers in 2024–25 with Turk Telekom Ankara, averaging 16.1 points on 40.4% three‑point shooting along with 3.2 rebounds, 2.9 assists and 1.3 steals in the EuroCup. His productive run in Turkiye followed a season with Hapoel Tel Aviv. He helped both Turk Telekom and Hapoel reach the EuroCup Quarterfinals.
Angola has been a well‑travelled and adaptable presence in Europe since leaving the G League in 2019, building a résumé that includes time with Oostende in Belgium, Partizan Belgrade in Serbia, Ironi Nes Ziona and Hapoel in Israel, AEK Athens in Greece, Gran Canaria in Spain and Turk Telekom, Galatasaray Istanbul and Pinar Karsiyaka in Turkiye.
Now, by joining ASVEL, Angola will play in the EuroLeague for the first time. He adds depth, shot‑creation and valuable experience on the wings for the French powerhouse, which recently lost star guard Nando De Colo, when he made a midseason move to Fenerbahce Beko Istanbul.
