Billy Yakuba Ouattara (born January 24, 1992, in Tepa, Ghana) is a Ghanaian-French professional basketball player for AS Monaco of the LNB Pro A and EuroLeague.
Ouattara first began his professional career out in France with the Élan Chalon of the LNB Pro A in 2012 as a 20-year-old. He played with that team for two seasons before signing a one-year deal with the ASC Denain-Voltaire PH, who were a part of the LNB Pro B at that time. During that year, he helped the team make it to the LNB Pro B Finals before ultimately losing the series to Hyères-Toulon Var Basket. On July 24, 2015, Ouattara signed with the AS Monaco Basket out in Monaco, returning to the Pro A that year. [1] During his second season at Monaco, Ouattara was named a French Pro A All-Star and helped Monaco win the Leaders Cup Championship over the ASVEL Basket in 2017.
Ouattara signed a two-way contract with the Brooklyn Nets of the NBA on July 21, 2017, becoming the first foreign born player to sign a two-way deal with an NBA team. Under the terms of the deal, he would have planned to split time between the Brooklyn Nets and their G League affiliate, the Long Island Nets, with a majority of his time being spent with the Long Island affiliate team. [2] However, due to injury problems throughout the year, he would never get a chance to play with the Brooklyn Nets squad, having only played in one G League game with the Long Island Nets during that time. On December 17, 2017, Ouattara was waived by the Nets. [3] On January 17, 2018, Ouattara was reacquired by the Long Island Nets. [4]
On March 30, 2018, Ouattara signed for the remainder of the 2017–18 season with Monaco. [5]
On July 17, 2020, he signed with Coosur Real Betis of the Liga ACB. [6]
On July 20, 2021, he signed with AS Monaco of the French LNB Pro A. AS Monaco also plays in the EuroLeague [7]
Because of the unavailability of a Ghanaian national team, he has been a member of the French national team. [8]
