Always used very sparingly in the EuroLeague (81 minutes accumulated over six appearances), Brice Dessert takes advantage of the Turkish championship to enjoy a greater field of expression. And after missing his last match of 2025, the young pivot of Anadolu Efes Istanbul did not miss his first of 2026!
Evaluation record
Present in the starting five against Mersin (93-80), the French international dominated the debates in the racket. In 28 minutes, he was able to compile 19 points at 7/11, 5 rebounds, 2 assists, 1 interception and 3 blocks for 25 ratings.
Which does not represent his offensive record with Efes, since he reached the 20-point mark (at 100%, no less!) on December 20 against Galatasaray. But his personal best in the evaluation, thanks in particular to an unusual skill with free throws. He who was at 16/30 until then in BCL scored a nice 5/5 this Sunday!
Mersin now awaits Le Mans
On the other hand, the defeat in Mersin perhaps did not help Ronald March Jr’s team gain confidence before their Basketball Champions League play-in against Le Mans this week. But it will, at least, have allowed him to keep the rhythm while the MSB has not played since December 26.
Facing Dessert, Alexandre Chassang had a much less pleasant afternoon in the racket. Also starting for his fifth appearance in the Mersin jersey, the former Limoges pivot had to be content with 4 points at 2/3, 5 rebounds, 2 assists, 1 interception and 1 block in 18 minutes.
