Ray Parks ends three-year stint with Nagoya, joins Osaka
After concluding a fruitful stay in Nagoya, Ray Parks found a new home as he agreed to join Osaka for the upcoming 2024-2025 season of the Japan B. League.
Osaka announced Parks' signing on Wednesday as the club looks to redeem itself following a dismal campaign in the previous edition, where it racked up just 25 wins against 35 losses to finish at 18th spot.
Parks will end a three-season stint with the Dolphins, whom he led to a semifinals appearance last season but a title remained elusive for the second generation baller as they fell to Hiroshima.
The 31-year-old shooting guard posted 8.8 points, 3.7 rebounds, and 2.2 assists in his last season with the Dolphins.
In a previous post, Parks offered gratitude to Nagoya, which he said gave him a second chance when he was at his lowest.
"It has truly been my honor and privilege to represent you guys and the great city of Nagoya for the past 3 years," Parks said.
"We have been through a lot of ups and downs but we made history. Y’all gave me a breath of fresh life on and off the court when I was at my lowest. I'm forever grateful. Thank you for the unconditional love."
