Damien Inglis is from French Guiana. He is a player who can play at a high level in both the power forward and center positions.

In 2017, he returned to Europe and played in the top leagues of France, Italy and Spain. In the 2019-20 season, he played for SIG Strasbourg (France/Jeep ELITE ProA), where Yokohama B-Corsairs head coach Rassi Tuobi served as assistant coach, and fought together for one season. In 2021, he contributed to the EuroCup victory with AS Monaco Basket (France/Jeep ELITE ProA) and in 2023, he contributed to the EuroCup victory with CB Gran Canaria (Spain/Liga ACB). Last season, he played for Valencia BC in the Spanish Liga ACB. He played a total of 68 games in Liga ACB and the EuroLeague. He recorded an average playing time of 21 minutes, 7.8 points, 4.9 rebounds and 1.9 assists.
He has played for France from the under-age category on the national team, and was selected to represent France in the FIBA Basketball World Cup European Qualifiers in 2023 and the FIBA EuroBasket 2025 Qualifiers in 2024, where he has demonstrated consistent performance.
Inglis is able to understand the coach’s tactics and commit to his role. He will contribute to the team not only offensively in terms of points and assists, but also defensively.
