Professional career

Chassang is part of the teams of ASVEL Basket team (2012–2016),[1] Hyères Toulon Var Basket (2016–2018),[1] and SLUC Nancy Basket (in the Pro B, for the 2017–2018 playoffs),[3] before playing since 2018 at Jeanne d'Arc Dijon Basket.[1] In these three teams, he participates in the French basketball championship (Pro A).[1] In May 2020, while he had one season left in Burgundy, he re-signed until June 2022.[4] However, he activates his exit clause at the end of the 2020-2021 season to try a first experience abroad.[5] On 14 August 2021 he signed with Yalovaspor Basketbol, which was recently promoted to the Turkish first division.[6] After six weeks in Turkey and only one game played, he decided to join for the JL Bourg for the 2021–2022 season, which was in search of a player after the departure of Tyler Stone at the beginning of the season.[7][8]
On 17 July 2023 he signed with Limoges CSP of the LNB Pro A.[9]
