The Ivory Coast native grew up with Asvel, making his professional debut in 2001. He even made a brief appearance in the Euroleague in 2002. Traore later moved to the United States to play at the College of Southern Idaho in 2004, but soon returned to France and signed for Quimper. He also played for Roanne and STB Le Havre before returning to Asvel.
