## Early years

His career ended with a loss to Kalamazoo Central High School. He then joined Lansing Community College for one year to study Business Management before moving back to Lebanon at the age of 19 to continue his studies there.[citation needed]

While in the United States, Sabah played for the Lansing Community College team (2001–02).

### Career 2005–06

[edit]

After 2005, Sabah turned 22 and he was a free player since three years with Hekmeh BC. Coach Ghassan Sarkis wanted him to play for Champville SC, so Sabah took his chance and signed a one-year contract with the team (2005–06).[citation needed]

#### 2005–06 season

[edit]

Sabah helped the team reach the final 4 after their famous breakup that led most of their main players to Sporting Al Riyadi Beirut.[citation needed]

### Career 2006–07

[edit]

After 2006 in Champville SC, Sabah signed a 2-year contract with Hekmeh BC but in the same summer the president of the club resigned and Hekmeh BC was in a big mess. Meanwhile, Sabah was with the Lebanese national basketball team in the Basketball World Championship in Japan, and after he was back there was no team for Hekmeh BC. He picked Al Mouttahed Tripoli knowing that Hekmeh BC probably will not make a team and will drop to the second division. Few weeks after Sabah signed a one-year contract with Al Mouttahed Tripoli (2006–07), Hekmeh BC made a team in the last minute just to survive and prevent dropping to the second division and because it was too late the Lebanese Basketball Federation allowed them to sign with free players, so Sabah spent his year with Al Mouttahed Tripoli. It was a very short season for Sabah, because the team finished 5th in the league.[citation needed]

### Career 2007–09

[edit]

After his contract with Al Mouttahed Tripoli ended, Sabah was back to Hekmeh BC (his old home) with a 2-year contract (2007–09).[citation needed]
