Sabah Khoury was born in
Kuwait on 10 November 1982 and lived in
Lebanon until he was 15. He moved to the
United States to finish high school. He played at
Okemos High School. 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. While in the United States, Sabah played for the
Lansing Community College team (2001–02).
Career 2002–2005 When Sabah moved back to
Lebanon, after few meetings with
Hekmeh BC's team and management, Sabah signed a three years contract with the team (2002–05) and started to play professionally at the age of 19.

Career 2005–06 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).
2005–06 season Sabah helped the team reach the final 4 after their famous breakup that led most of their main players to
Sporting Al Riyadi Beirut.
Career 2006–07 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.
Career 2007–09 After his contract with
Al Mouttahed Tripoli ended, Sabah was back to
Hekmeh BC (his old home) with a 2-year contract (2007–09).
