The next team to host its costumary Media Day sessions was LDLC ASVEL Villeurbanne, barely two weeks before the start of the 2021-22 Turkish Airlines EuroLeague season. ASVEL hosted its Media Day session at its home court, the Astroballe, which is also getting ready to bring back fans in the upcoming EuroLeague campaign.

It is no surprise that new faces drew the most attention during Media Day, especially up-and-coming talent Victor Wembanyama, whose impressing size and frame matched his great personality. Other ASVEL newcomers include Elie Okobo, Chris Jones, Raymar Morgan, Youssoupha Fall, Kostas Antetokounmpo and Dylan Osetkowski.
