Limoges CSP Transfer Watch
Limoges decided as early as April to extend the contract of their young head coach Mehdy Mary and almost immediately after they started renewing their collaboration with several players of their 2019-20 roster.
As a result, the 1993 European champions are only out on the summer market looking for a few targeted additions, the latest of which is shooting guard Philip Scrubb.

In December, Limoges and Demarcus Nelson parted ways as the Serbian-American point guard decided to leave France due to personal reasons. The club reacted promptly by signing Kenneth “Speedy” Smith Jr.
The 27-year-old point guard started the season at Telenet Giants Antwerp and averaged a near double-double of 17.5 points and 9.5 assists in two games in the Belgian EuroMillions League, while in the EuroCup he contributed 15.5 points and 6 assists per contest.
