DeMarcus Nelson made his season debut as the French League started its regular season. It looked like DeMarcus would wait until seasons had started around to world to find a team, but an injury at Monaco led the team that had just been promoted to the top division in France to sign another guard.

His teammates include ex-UCLA player Larry Drew II, whose injury paved the way for DeMarcus to sign, ex-VCU player Jamal Shuler, ex-LSU player Darrel Mitchell, ex-Hofstra player Adrian Uter, Sergii Gladyr, the 49th pick of the Atlanta Hawks in 2009, and ex-D League player Amara Sy.
