Part of the NBA season has started on time as the Development League has gotten underway. Last year there were two former Duke players plus Eric Boateng in the league, but so far this year we only have Lance Thomas as he has returned to play for the Austin Toros.
Their first game was Saturday against the Texas Legends and the team won 101-96 with Lance scoring 25 points and grabbing 6 rebounds in 33 minutes. Here is the boxscore for anyone interested:
