The rough stretch for the Paris forward seems to have come to an end
Paris's Daulton Hommes put his injuries behind him

3 Mins read
Paris Basketball beat FC Bayern Munich 93-88 in Round 27 with Daulton Hommes playing a critical role. What made that special is that it was just the second Turkish Airlines EuroLeague game of the season for Paris the forward.
The basketball gods have not been merciful with Hommes in recent years. Between the ages of 15 and 18, Hommes didn't play in an official basketball game. Injuries to the same knee two summers in a row caused him to miss his last two seasons of high school basketball and only practice during his first year at university. Hommes convinced a NCAA Division 2 coach to let him walk-on and he spent a year playing only in practices.
Hommes started his professional career in the G-League and also played for Italian side Vanoli Cremona before making his EuroLeague debut with Baskonia Vitoria-Gasteiz in the 2022-23 season. He averaged 7.0 points in 31 EuroLeague games despite battling knee problems all season long.
In the summer of 2023, Hommes underwent knee reconstruction surgery, which caused him to miss most of the 2023-24 campaign. He returned to action with Dolomiti Energia Trento in April 2024 and averaged 5.0 points and 5.0 rebounds in four games.
Hommes joined Paris over the summer but was immediately sidelined, missing his team's training camp in Estonia. He ended up missing more than four months due to a leg injury. Hommes returned to action in Round 26 and was held scoreless in less than 5 minutes against Virtus. After the February break, Hommes is finally healthy, with better rhythm and ready to deliver.

EuroLeague & Friends, ep. 9: Bayern's home form, Nunn and Vezenkov on fire
He had a really solid performance against Bayern, coming off the bench to score 12 points on 2-of-2 three-point shooting plus 2 rebounds, 1 assist and 3 fouls drawn for a PIR of 13 in less than 16 minutes. He fills a critical spot as a stretch power forward, adding an extra scoring threat and giving TJ Shorts even more space to attack the time. Once again, Shorts led Paris with 27 points and made a career-high 3 three-pointers in as many attempts.
Hommes has had to battle injuries over and over again. His mental strength and all-around talent could take Paris even further down the road.
