Kawasaki missing three players for Chiba clash

Kawasaki Brave Thunders opened the B.League season with two straight losses and are short-handed: Alex Kirk and Jervelle Yamauchi are away at the Asian Games, while Saudi Arabia international Mohamed-Ali Abdur-Rahkman is still awaiting his visa.

What it means

• Kirk and Yamauchi are with the Asian Games squad, Abdur-Rahkman is stuck in visa processing
• Head coach Oketani admits the team is behind others in preparation
• Kawasaki lost 78-90 to Nagoya Diamond Dolphins and next face Altiri Chiba

Model read

Kawasaki are notably weakened for the Chiba game, missing two rotation bigs and their foreign ace, which leaves them thin inside and reliant on undersized Japanese shooters.
