B.League schedule
The Filipino import has been on the freezer since Jan. 29, since Nagoya fell to the Utsunomiya Brex, 93-79.
But the break should have rejuvenated Nagoya as it sits at seventh place with its 21-9 record and fortify its playoff hopes.
Thirdy Ravena, however, remains a game-time decision for San-En as it tries to move out of the cellar with its 5-30 card.
Also in limbo is Dwight Ramos when the Toyama Grouses (16-22) take on Osaka Evessa (14-20) at Ookini Arena Maishima.
It's not just Parks and the Diamond Dolphins who are aiming to move up the standings.

Matthew Aquino and the Shinshu Brave Warriors (18-19) are also motivated to bounce back when they pay Levanga Hokkaido (12-21) a visit at Hokkai Kitayell.
Javi Gomez de Liano and the Ibaraki Robots (8-28) host SeaHorses Mikawa (17-16) at Adastria Mito Arena, while Kobe Paras and the cellar-dwelling Niigata Albirex BB (5-31) duel against Alvark Tokyo (25-8) at City Hall Plaza Aore Nagaoka.
