    KIEFER Ravena’s first game with the Shiga Lakestars will be against Thirdy Ravena’s San-en Neophoenix during their respective clubs’ opening match in the 2021-2022 Japanese B.League season.

    The league as well as San-En released the first set of matches on Tuesday which will see the Lakestars battling the Neophoenix in Shiga’s homecourt – the Ukaruchan Arena – on October 2 and 3.

    Kiefer was recently signed by the Lakestars for the 2021-2022 season. Although the move drew controversy especially with the NLEX guard still under contract with the squad, the Lakestars have included Ravena in the club’s line-up.

    Thirdy, meanwhile, will be playing his second season with the NeoPhoenix after signing a multi-year deal.

    The B.League’s move to pit the Ravena brothers is seen as a move to draw more Philippine fans to watch the Japanese B.League that has saw several other marquee names signing with different clubs.
