Istanbul’s Anadolu Efes has officially signed French center Brice Dessert to a four-year contract as the club continues to reshape its roster for the 2025-26 campaign.

The 22-year-old joins the Turkish powerhouse after a breakout season with SIG Strasbourg in France’s LNB Elite, where he averaged 9.0 points and 5.0 rebounds per game while shooting 68.8% from the field.

Dessert, a native of Paris, has steadily risen through the ranks of French basketball, starting with Moissy Basket Club and later developing at INSEP, France’s premier training academy.

His professional career includes stints at Rouen Metropole Basket and Ada Blois Basket, but his performances at Strasbourg this past season brought him into the spotlight.

In 74 LNB Pro A games across three seasons, Dessert has averaged 7.5 points and 4.1 rebounds while maintaining an efficient 69.3% shooting clip.

Anadolu Efes, a two-time EuroLeague champion, is entering the 2025-26 season with aspirations to return to the top of European basketball after missing the playoffs last year.
