Before the match, it was announced that David Holston, who had suffered a thigh injury during the opening game against Strasbourg, would be available to play after a ten-day absence. His coach noted that the 40-year-old point guard might struggle to find his rhythm after such a long break. However, Holston's performance during the match against Limoges CSP proved otherwise.
Holston delivered an exceptional performance, scoring 28 points on 9/10 shooting, including 5/6 from three-point range, and adding 5 key assists. His performance earned him a rating of 32 in just 20 minutes, an impressive statistical line for a player of his age. As has been the case since he joined the club in 2017, Holston once again proved vital to JDA Dijon's success.
JDA Dijon, already undefeated at the start of the season before Holston's return, now has even stronger indicators of success. Under coach Vincent Dumestre, the team has a perfect 3-0 record and is solidifying its position at the top of the league. The change in coaching appears to have significantly benefited the club, which had struggled to qualify for the play-in last season. The match against Limoges at the Palais des Sports was an intense game, with a combined total of 204 points scored (108-96), more than 45% of three-point shots made by both teams, and several physical battles in the paint. Dijon ultimately came out on top.
