Without Lee Moore for an estimated six to eight weeks, Caen BC has turned to a medical joker, with the signing of Reginald Johnson Jr officially announced this Tuesday, October 27, 2026.
Caen Basket Calvados must operate without Lee Moore for an estimated period of six to eight weeks following an injury. To cover the shortfall in its rotation, the Normandy club has turned to the medical joker procedure, a mechanism provided for under the Élite 2 regulations that allows a club to bring in an additional player in this specific context.
On Tuesday, October 27, 2026, the club announced the arrival of Reginald Johnson, more commonly known as Reggie. The 32-year-old American point guard stands 1.90 m tall. His profile matches that of a player capable of occupying the point guard position and meeting the squad's immediate needs while awaiting the return of Lee Moore.
Recourse to the medical joker is a regulated option. It allows a team to temporarily strengthen its roster when a key player is unavailable for an extended period. The recruited player is therefore not meant to stay beyond the absence of the injured starter, unless a later arrangement is permitted under the rules in force.
In a schedule where every game counts, the availability of an experienced point guard is a priority for the coaching staff. The head coach must now integrate Johnson into the group, help him find his bearings alongside his teammates, and adjust the rotations during Moore's absence.
Caen BC thus continues its season with a replacement solution that complies with the regulatory framework. The upcoming games will show the impact of this arrival on the team's performance, while Lee Moore's return is expected at the end of his recovery period.
