Damien Inglis: A Journey From France To New York

It’s been more than three years since Damien Inglis found his way into the NBA. Before he was drafted, he had already played four years of professional basketball. Inglis, a native of France, played for Centre Fédéral de Basketball of the NM1 at the age of 15. The France native played for the club for three seasons before signing a three-year contract with Chorale Roanne of the LNB Pro B League.

Instead of staying with that club for three years, Inglis opted for the 2014 NBA Draft.

Then it happened: his dream came true.

Every young player dreams of hearing their name announced at the NBA Draft.
