Born in Cayenne, French Guiana, Inglis was a big soccer fan, but as his cousins played streetball, he first began playing basketball at age nine before moving to Paris as a teenager. Several years later, he recalled his move to Paris saying, "I was by myself. I left French Guyana when I was 14 years old. My family was far and I had to play basketball. It was cold, it was tough. I was family-sick, homesick. But I really wanted to make it, so that’s why I kept going." Inglis grew up playing with INSEP, a French training institute for excellence in sports. The school had been previously attended by several promising NBA players such as Tony Parker, Boris Diaw and Ronny Turiaf. During his time with INSEP, he participated in two Nike International Junior Tournaments.
