The center of an extended affine Hecke algebra is known to be isomorphic to the ring of symmetric functions associated to the underlying finite Weyl group $W\_0$. The set of Weyl characters ${ \sf s}\_\la$ forms a basis of the center and Lusztig showed in [Lus15] that these characters act as translations on the Kazhdan-Lusztig basis element $C\_{ w\_0}$ where $w\_0$ is the longest element of $W\_0$, that is we have $C\_{ w\_0}{ \sf s}\_\la =C\_{ w\_0t\_\la}$. As a consequence, the coefficients that appear when decomposing~$C\_{ w\_0t\_{ \la}}{ \sf s}\_\tau$ in the Kazhdan-Lusztig basis are tensor multiplicities of the Lie algebra with Weyl group $W\_0$. The aim of this paper is to explain how admissible subsets and Littelmann paths, which are models to compute such multiplicities, naturally appear when working out this decomposition.
