Professional career

During the 2018–19 season, Allan Dokossi played for Fos Provence Basket as part of its LNB Pro A under-21 team. There, he averaged around 14 points and 11 rebounds. These numbers guaranteed him his first games for the club's first team.[1]

At the start of the 2020-21 LNB Pro B season, management at Fos Provence Basket was not certain whether Dokossi would make its prime squad. Hence, they equipped him with a double license with the Sorgues-Avignon club of the Nationale 1 where he played two games before returning to his main team. As of late December 2020, Dokossi averaged 8 points and 6.7 rebounds in three LNB Pro B league games, and 11 points and 7.9 rebounds in seven LNB Pro A Leaders Cup matches.[1]

On 30 June 2023 he signed with JDA Dijon of the LNB Pro A.[2]
