High-scoring forward Michael Parker, a bj-league star for six seasons, has reunited with ex-Shimane Susanoo Magic bench boss Zeljko Pavlicevic, the new Wakayama Trians head coach.

Wakayama, previously called the Panasonic Trians during the team¡¯s JBL days, has joined the National Basketball League, the JBL¡¯s 12-team successor, for the 2013-14 season.

The Trians made the blockbuster announcement, which was expected for many weeks, on Friday. The 31-year-old Parker starred for Shimane for the last two seasons, helping the team reach the playoffs twice. He played four seasons for the Rizing Fukuoka.
