Le’Bryan Nash Returning to Japan to Play Professionally in B. League
The former OSU hooper is headed back overseas.
Former Oklahoma State star Le’Bryan Nash is headed back to Japan.
After a successful stint with the Fukushima Firebonds in 2015-16, Nash spent a year in the G League before a one-year, injury-laden stint with Busan KT Sonicboom. Now he’s returning to the B. League — formerly known as the BJ League — in Japan where he once starred.
Here’s more details from the Japan Times.
The former Fukushima Firebonds star finalized a deal with the B2’s Hachioji Bee Trains in August.
Nash, who starred at Oklahoma State, began his pro career with the Firebonds and made quite a splash as a rookie in the bj-league’s final season. He scored 30 or more points in his first five regular-season games, including a 47-point outburst against the Gunma Crane Thunders in the fourth contest. [Japan Times]
The Hachioji Bee Trains competes in the second division of the Japan B. League, the highest-tier Japanese pro league.
Nash set the BJ League single-game scoring record with a 54-point explosion during his first stint in Japan with the Firebonds, and later went on to claim the scoring crown by averaging 26.6 points per contest. He also won All-Star Game MVP.
Nash will be one of only two Americans on the Tokyo team roster, alongside former Scottsdale CC product Alex Jones.
