2025
"— Harrison Faigen, SB Nation Los Angeles Clippers — PJ Tucker The Clippers are hard-capped at the first apron as a result of signing Nicolas Batum to the bi-annual exception last summer, and so they only have about $4 million in wiggle room to make a deal."

2024
"The Sixers already knew they were going to be without Tyrese Maxey, De’Anthony Melton, Nicolas Batum, and Robert Covington against the Warriors."

2023
"France have been eliminated from the FIBA Basketball World Cup after back-to-back losses to Canada and Latvia and French national veteran Nicolas Batum shared his honest thoughts on his team’s efforts."

2022
"The LA Clippers improved on the margins this past offseason, re-signing veterans Kawhi Leonard, Nicolas Batum, and Reggie Jackson while adding new role players like Justise Winslow and Eric Bledsoe."

2021
"The LA Clippers have finalized agreements with most of their free agents, coming to terms on deals with Kawhi Leonard, Nicolas Batum, Reggie Jackson, and Justise Winslow."

2020
"Devonte’ Graham, Terry Rozier, PJ Washington and Miles Bridges are the top four Hornets in minutes per game, but vets like Cody Zeller, Nicolas Batum and Bismack Biyombo have had regular roles, too."

2019
"Rumor: Charlotte willing to trade Frank Kaminsky if team takes on Nicolas Batum contract"

2018
"But he has yet to officially suit up for his homeland on the national stage and is friendly with French star Nicolas Batum."

2017
"The post Report: Nicolas Batum Out 8-12 Weeks With Elbow Tear appeared first on SLAMonline."

2016
"But then an offseason of change, featuring the departures of LaMarcus Aldridge, Wesley Matthews and Nicolas Batum, left a major void in Portland."

2015
"Team Africa was comprised of players who were either born in Africa or have at least one parent who was born there, which limited its roster options, as pointed out by Bleacher Report's Sean Highkin: Even so, the African squad boasted a few players with solid ball-handling skills who ended up playing the point, including Antetokounmpo, new Charlotte Hornets star Nicolas Batum and San Antonio Spurs forward Boris Diaw, who was playing for his NBA head coach in Gregg Popovich."

2014
" However, swingman Nicolas Batum was unable to go the distance after suffering an apparent ankle injury: LaMarcus Aldridge led the charge with 28 points and nine rebounds while Wesley Matthews made another contract-year statement, dropping 21 points, 15 of which came from beyond the arc."
