LEVALLOIS, France (Interstat) — Lorient visits Levallois on Friday, June 5, 2026, in a French NM1 matchup with postseason implications. Levallois (27-16) holds a better record and home-court advantage, while Lorient (23-17) looks to build on a dominant win.

The teams have split two meetings this season, each winning on its home floor. Levallois won 90-85 on Jan. 10, 2026, and took the earlier contest 85-82 on Oct. 10, 2025, in Lorient.

Lorient enters after routing Le Havre 102-74 on May 22. Center Arkim Robertson played 22 minutes, scoring 20 points and grabbing seven rebounds. Robertson had a quiet outing in Lorient’s previous win at Fos Provence on May 8, logging two points and three rebounds in 17 minutes. Lorient’s recent form has been inconsistent: they lost three of five before the Le Havre blowout, including a 100-93 loss at Le Havre on May 1 and a 77-64 defeat at Mulhouse on April 21. Forward Adrien Sclear added 15 points and six rebounds in the May 22 win, while small forward Parfait Njiba contributed 11 points and four assists.

Levallois comes off a 77-70 road win at UTLPB on May 24. Power forward Lionel Colson posted a double-double with 16 points and 10 rebounds in 17 minutes, adding one assist. In a 73-65 loss at UTLPB two days earlier, Colson had 12 points and nine rebounds in 19 minutes. Over his last three games, Colson averages 13.7 points and 8.3 rebounds. Levallois has won four of its last five, with the only loss to UTLPB. Point guard Kane Milling scored 19 points with seven rebounds and one assist in the May 24 win, and shooting guard Kevin Thalien added 13 points and five assists. Levallois has scored at least 77 points in five of its last six outings.

The matchup features contrasting styles. Lorient relies on Robertson’s inside scoring and the perimeter play of Sclear and Njiba. Levallois counters with Colson’s versatility and Milling’s playmaking. In the Jan. 10 meeting, Levallois held Lorient to 85 points while scoring 90 themselves.

Both teams are jockeying for position in the NM1 standings. Levallois aims to solidify a top spot, while Lorient seeks to improve its road record. Tipoff is scheduled for the evening at Levallois’s home arena.
