Doumbouya arrives at San Pablo Burgos

Sekou Doumbouya (born December 23, 2000, in Conakry, Guinea) strengthens the roster of Recoletas Salud San Pablo Burgos for the upcoming Liga Endesa season. The 2.06-meter tall interior player joins the project led by Porfi Fisac, consolidating a career that combines experience in high-level European competitions and participation in top-tier professional leagues worldwide.

A solid international journey

Doumbouya's professional career began in France, where he participated in Pôle France and in first division clubs such as Poitiers and Limoges CSP. This formative stage lasted from 2015 to 2019, during which the player acquired the necessary technical foundations and competitive experience to make the leap to more demanding markets.

In 2019, Doumbouya made the decision to move to the United States, where he competed in the G League with Grand Rapids Drive and later in the NBA with Detroit Pistons. This move marked a significant milestone in his development as a professional, allowing him to face elite players in the North American developmental league.

Experience in the NBA and G League

During the 2021/22 season, the Guinean interior player continued his journey in North American basketball simultaneously. He was part of the Los Angeles Lakers roster in the NBA while balancing his presence in South Bay Lakers, the Lakers' affiliate team in the G League. This duality reflects the versatility and competitive potential of a player capable of alternating participation in two competitions of different levels.

In the 2022/23 season, Doumbouya joined Delaware Blue Coats, also a team in the American development league, where he continued to accumulate minutes and experience in a highly competitive context. His time in the G League allowed him to consolidate fundamental technical and tactical aspects for his subsequent evolution.

Return to Europe and consolidation in Liga Endesa

After several years in the United States, Doumbouya chose to return to the European continent. His first destination was France again, where he played a season with Chorale Roanne in the French top division, demonstrating that his level remained competitive in top-tier leagues.

The next step in his career took him to Spain, where he signed with MoraBanc Andorra in Liga Endesa. During the 2024/25 season, the player recorded significant figures that highlight his contribution to the Pyrenean team. Doumbouya averaged 11.3 points per game, complemented by 4.5 rebounds on average, accumulating 10.1 valuation credits. These numbers reflect a balanced participation in both facets of the game, both offensively and defensively, solidifying his presence as a versatile interior player.

New challenge in Burgos

Doumbouya’s addition to Recoletas Salud San Pablo Burgos represents the continuation of his commitment to the highest level of Spanish competition. His prior experience in Liga Endesa, combined with his international background, positions him as a significant asset for the Burgos project in the 2026/27 season.

In the past season, Doumbouya expanded his professional experience competing in Japan with Koshigaya Alphas, demonstrating his willingness to explore new markets and competitions. This eclecticism in his career underscores his ability to adapt to diverse contexts and his constant desire for growth as a player.

The 2.06-meter interior player arrives in Burgos with the aim of contributing to the team's development in a new phase. His profile as a versatile player in the paint, capable of defending and contributing points from within, fits the needs of the team led by Porfi Fisac. The trust placed in his signing reflects the club's investment in a player with proven experience in different European leagues and in top-level international competitions.

From the Burgos institution, they wish Sekou Doumbouya maximum success in this new stage of his sports career, hoping that his contribution will be key in the objectives set for the upcoming season in Liga Endesa.
