Rigaudeau played in the National Basketball Association (NBA) with the Dallas Mavericks, during their 2002–03 season, after he signed a three-year contract with the club, on 17 January 2003.[3] With the Mavericks, he played in a total of 11 games, and averaged 1.5 points, 0.7 rebounds, and 0.5 assists per game, in 8.3 minutes played per game.[4] On 18 August 2003, the Mavericks traded Rigaudeau's player rights to the Golden State Warriors, prior to the start of the 2003–04 NBA season.[5] On 5 September 2003, the Warriors released Rigaudeau.

Return to Europe

After being released by the Golden State Warriors, Rigaudeau returned to Europe, and joined the Spanish ACB League club Valencia. He officially retired from playing pro club basketball in 2005, after he had previously suffered an Achilles tendon injury on his left foot.

In 2001, before that year's EuroBasket tournament, Rigaudeau retired from playing with the senior France national team. However, he later decided to rejoin the national team for the 2005 EuroBasket, where he won the bronze medal. He retired again from the France national team after that tournament. He had a total of 127 appearances with France's senior national team.
