MARK your calendars: Thirdy Ravena's B.League debut is set on October 3.
San-En NeoPhoenix unveiled its first set of games in Japan's pro league through its social media accounts, beginning at home against the Chiba Jets.
The October 3 duel will be staged at the 8,000-seater Hamamatsu Arena in Shizuoka.
Ravena, the first signee in the league's groundbreaking Asian Player Quota, will be tested by a side bannered by Japanese national team point guard Yuki Togashi and American imports Josh Duncan and Shannon Shorter.
The NeoPhoenix are hoping for a better result this season after going 5-36 last year. The Jets finished way higher on a 28-12 card.
