SIG Strasbourg is demonstrating its commitment to nurturing its promising young players. Following the recent professional debuts of Jahel Trèfle and Oscar Wembanyama, point guard Maxence Lemoine is poised to play a more prominent role with the Alsace-based team next season. Lemoine has returned from his loan spell and has extended his contract by two years, keeping him with the club until 2029.
At the Young Star Game last February, Lemoine indicated he was frequently communicating with his fellow young Strasbourg teammates. This suggests a smooth reintegration into the Strasbourg team following a valuable experience in the professional world with Stade Rochelais. During his loan, he averaged 10.9 points and 3.1 assists per game in the Élite 2 league this season.
Sports Director Nicola Alberani expressed his delight: “We are very happy to have Maxence back with our squad. After experiencing Betclic ÉLITE with us, he benefited from an ideal environment in La Rochelle this season to continue his development and gain professional experience. Today, he returns to Strasbourg with a new status. He is no longer just a player from the training center, but a true member of our squad, with all the legitimacy needed to integrate an ambitious roster, particularly engaged in the Basketball Champions League. Maxence has always shown sincere attachment to SIG Strasbourg. He is a talented, hardworking, and promising young player, whom we wish to support in the next stages of his career. We are convinced he has the qualities to achieve great performances in our colors and make a lasting mark on the club’s history.”
Maxence Lemoine Signs with SIG Strasbourg Through 2029
SIG Strasbourg continues to invest in its future prospects. After seeing Jahel Trèfle and Oscar Wembanyama make their professional debuts this season, it’s Maxence Lemoine’s turn to step into a more significant role for the Strasbourg team next season. The point guard has returned from his loan and has inked a two-year contract extension, committing him to the club until 2029.
Lemoine’s increased involvement comes after a successful loan period at La Rochelle, where he honed his skills. He shared at the Young Star Game in February that he maintained regular contact with his young Strasbourg teammates, which should facilitate his return. During his time with Stade Rochelais, he put up impressive numbers, averaging 10.9 points and 3.1 assists per game in the Élite 2 league.
Sports Director Nicola Alberani highlighted Lemoine’s progression and commitment. He stated that Lemoine’s loan spell provided an ideal environment for professional growth and experience. Alberani emphasized that Lemoine now returns as a fully-fledged member of the squad, ready to contribute to an ambitious team competing in the Basketball Champions League. He believes Lemoine’s talent, work ethic, and dedication make him a valuable asset with the potential for a significant and lasting impact on SIG Strasbourg’s history.
