Louis Labeyrie Joins Limoges CSP After Strasbourg Stint

Limoges CSP has signed French international Louis Labeyrie on a two-year contract, keeping him with the club until June 2028. The 30-year-old forward will join fellow French internationals Nicolas Lang and Andrew Albicy at Limoges.

Labeyrie comes to Limoges from SIG Strasbourg, where he had a strong 14-game stint at the end of last season. During that period, he averaged 7.2 points, 6.3 rebounds, and 1 assist per game in 24 minutes on the court, contributing to Strasbourg's quarter-final playoff run against Paris Basketball.

A product of the Fos-sur-Mer academy, Labeyrie has also played for Hyères-Toulon, Paris-Levallois (five seasons), and Strasbourg. He has also had international experience playing for Valencia (2018-2022), Kazan (2022-2025), and Gran Canaria, where he played alongside Andrew Albicy at the start of the previous season, recording 4.8 points and 2.5 rebounds in 16 minutes in Liga Endesa.

New coach Arnaud Tessier expressed his enthusiasm for the signing: "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 ability to stretch defenses, score from long range, and his basketball IQ perfectly match the philosophy we want to implement. We are convinced he will be a valuable asset to our sporting project."
