Arthur Edwards, American winger, and Marc Seylan, well-known Franco-Swiss point guard at the BCB, to play with the Jura basketball club after injury blow to Kaanu Olaniyi 

Kaanu Olaniyi’s season ended rather abruptly due to a ligament tear in one of his knees. Being an important part of the BCB squad and with the team already dealing with relatively inadequate manpower, the team entered the market to scout for a replacement for one of their major players. This led to the acquisition of American winger, Arthur Edwards, and popular Franco-Swiss point guard, Marc Seylan, who is making a return to the team.

One of Kaanu’s breakthroughs came in 2017 when he was selected alongside other talented Swiss Basketball players as part of the first competition window for the pre-qualifications for the EuroBasket 2021. The young Kaanu, who was plying his trade with Union Neuchâtel Basket, played with other notable names such as Arnaud Cotture, Jonathan Dubas, Paul Gravet, Randon Grueninger, Natan Jurkovitz, and Jonathan Kazadi. Other members of the team are Roberto Kovac, Juraj Kozic, Marko Mladjan, Marco Portannese, Lucas Pythoud, Robert Zinn, and Brian Savoy.

The American Arthur Edwards (27, 1m98) arrives in the Jura from the Rilski Sportist Samakov in Bulgaria. Arthur is known for his versatility as he can play as a wingman as well as evolve indoors. He trained at various American universities (Northwest Florida, New Mexico, and Alabama) from 2012 to 2016 and then played in the G League, a minor American league.

The other replacement, Marc Seylan is making a comeback to the team after a passage in the Jura during the 2017/2018 season. The 27-year-old Franco-Swiss averaged 11.5 minutes with Pully Lausanne. Marc Seylan has also trained in Switzerland, joining the United States between 2012 and 2017. He signed with the BCB for the next two seasons.

Coach by the charismatic Vladimir Ruzicic, BC Bancourt remains a major figure in the Swiss Basketball League and the arrivals will help the team in achieving their goal for the season and beyond.

From television to the internet platform, Jonathan switched his journey in digital media with Bigtime Daily. He served as a journalist for popular news channels and currently contributes his experience for Bigtime Daily by writing about the tech domain.

Kévin Noulowe, a 6’10” professional basketball player, is close to finalizing a million-dollar sponsorship deal with the Bioscience Stem Cell Institute of Dubai, a partnership that could redefine the way athletes and individuals suffering from chronic pain approach healing and recovery.

The star basketball player is known for his athleticism, strength, and dominance on the court but is also known for having to battle injuries throughout his career. Noulowe is turning his attention to regenerative medicine, advocating for stem cell therapy as a breakthrough alternative to invasive surgeries and prolonged rehabilitation. With his towering presence in the sports world, Noulowe aims to bring awareness to the transformative potential of stem cell treatments, particularly for athletes, aging individuals, and those struggling with debilitating conditions.

Stem cell therapy, a rapidly advancing field of regenerative medicine, has gained attention for its ability to repair damaged tissues, accelerate healing, and reduce inflammation without the risks and downtime associated with traditional surgeries. Noulowe, who has seen firsthand how injuries can impact a player’s career, believes this treatment could offer a game-changing solution for athletes looking to recover faster and stay in peak condition.

Beyond the world of sports, Noulowe envisions a broader impact. His partnership with the Dubai-based stem cell institute is driven by a mission to help people across all walks of life—newborns, women, the elderly, and those suffering from chronic pain—access cutting-edge medical advancements that have the potential to restore mobility and improve quality of life.

The deal, while not yet officially signed, is in its final stages, with both parties working toward an agreement that will see Noulowe leverage his platform to promote stem cell awareness on a global scale. His advocacy comes at a time when regenerative medicine is gaining traction as a viable alternative to conventional treatments, with research showing promising results in pain management, injury recovery, and long-term health improvement.

For professional athletes, the implications are significant. Instead of relying on surgeries that can sideline careers and come with long-term consequences, players could turn to regenerative treatments that offer quicker recovery and potentially longer playing careers. Noulowe sees this as an opportunity to introduce a new era in sports medicine, where cutting-edge treatments replace outdated methods of rehabilitation.

While the details of the partnership are still being finalized, Noulowe remains committed to raising awareness and making regenerative medicine more accessible. His vision extends beyond basketball, as he seeks to create a lasting impact on how people worldwide approach healing and recovery.

As discussions near completion, anticipation is growing around what this collaboration could mean for the future of stem cell therapy in both the medical and athletic communities. Noulowe’s influence, combined with scientific advancements in regenerative medicine, has the potential to change the way injuries and chronic pain are treated—ushering in a new frontier of healing.
