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.  After a tougher than expected season, DeMarcus is looking to get back into rhythm as his initial deal is for one month, allowing him to extend or to find a team at a higher level.  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.  In this game, they faced another newly promoted team in Antibes, losing 80-67.  DeMarcus had 6 points in 22 minutes.  Gladyr had 16 points.  In the win, ex-Clemson player Willie Solomon had 19 points and 6 rebounds, former Illinois-Chicago player Paul Carter had 17 points and 7 rebounds, and ex-Virginia player Akil Mitchell had 13 points and 10 rebounds.
