Bangkok, Saturday, October 2, 2010 — With the merry-go-round seen in the ASEAN Basketball League (ABL) off season, it was inevitable that an ex-player would come back to haunt a team. That first honour went to Chris Kuete on opening day when he powered his new team Thailand Slammers to a 79-74 win over his former team, the KL Dragons.

Kuete scored 31 points, including nine crucial points in overtime.

The Slammers went on an early 16–6 run before they went scoreless for almost four minutes in the face of a solid Dragons defense. The Dragons then went on a 10-2 run to ensure that they finished the first quarter trailing only by two (16-18).
