Professional career

Fall attended the Seeds Academy in Thiès, Senegal,^[1] before joining the youth ranks of French team Le Mans Sarthe Basket in 2012.

Le Mans Sarthe (2014–18)

He made his debut on Le Mans’ men's team during the 2014-15 season.^[2] In 2015, he was named to the "Cinq All Star Espoirs", the all-first team of the French development league,^[3] after averaging 12.6 points, 12.0 rebounds and 2.1 blocks per contest during the 2014-15 campaign.^[4]

An early entry candidate for the 2016 NBA draft, he later withdrew his name from the list.^[5] He was sent on loan to LNB Pro B side Poitiers Baskets 86 for the 2016–17 season.^[6] In his last year with Le Mans, the 2017-18 season, Fall won his first French championship.^[7]

Baskonia (2018–21)

On July 17, 2018, he signed a four-year deal with Kirolbet Baskonia of the Spanish Liga ACB and the EuroLeague.^[8] On August 9, 2018, Baskonia loaned him to SIG Strasbourg for the 2018–19 season.^[9] Fall was part of Baskonia's championship winning team in the 2019-20 ACB season, but he would miss the Final Four due to injury.^[10] On August 15, 2021, Fall officially parted ways with the Basque club.^[11]

ASVEL Basket (2021–24)

FC Barcelona (2024–present)

On July 31, 2024, Fall was announced as a new FC Barcelona player, signing a one year deal with the Catalans.^[14] During the 2024-25 season, his role in the team grew as the Barcelona roster was plagued with injuries.^[15] Barcelona announced Fall would be leaving the team as his contract expired on June 30, 2025.^[16] However, the board reversed the decision and Fall signed a one season contract extension on August 19, 2025.^[17]
