Louis Labeyrie Joins Limoges CSP

Limoges CSP has secured the services of another seasoned French international, Louis Labeyrie, who will join Nicolas Lang and Andrew Albicy. The club announced on Tuesday evening that Labeyrie has signed a two-year contract, keeping him with the team until June 2028.

The French forward is coming off a solid 14-game stint with SIG Strasbourg at the end of last season. During his time there, he averaged 7.2 points, 6.3 rebounds, and 1 assist in 24 minutes per game, contributing to Strasbourg's quarter-final playoff run against Paris Basketball.

Labeyrie, who began his career at Fos-sur-Mer and played for Hyères-Toulon, previously spent five seasons with Paris-Levallois (2012-2017) and one season in Strasbourg (2017-2018). He also gained international experience playing for Valencia (2018-2022), Kazan (2022-2025), and Gran Canaria, where he played alongside Andrew Albicy earlier last season, posting 4.8 points and 2.5 rebounds in 16 minutes in the Liga Endesa.

"Louis will bring us all his high-level experience. He is a player who combines size, mobility, and versatility, with the ability to play both power forward and center. His capacity to stretch defenses, to score from long range, and his court vision perfectly match the philosophy we want to implement. We are convinced he will be a valuable asset to our sports project," stated his new coach, Arnaud Tessier.
