Pics Of Steve Francis' Debut For Beijing Ducks

Francis was inked to a two year deal with the Ducks back in November. He joins fellow NBA has been Stephon Marbury on the squad and also hip hop basketball icon Allen Iverson overseas. Francis only played the final 17 seconds of the game, and even still had an ice pack wrapped around his ankle (see pics below):
