In the past few weeks, Lessort was linked to a potential return to KK Crvena Zvezda, where he has played in 2017-18, but the two sides weren't able to finalize a deal. Last season Lessort averaged 11.5 points and 5.9 rebounds per game in EuroCup and was one of the key members of AS Monaco.

The French big man was originally drafted by the Philadelphia 76ers in the second round (50th overall) of the 2017 NBA draft. Since then, his draft rights have been moved and currently belong to the New York Knicks.
