With a veteran-dominated roster responding to the arrival of a new head coach, the Rizing Fukuoka found a way to salvage their topsy-turvy 2013-14 season after the All-Star break and earn a trip to the playoffs.
But the Rizing, who were the league¡¯s championship runnerup squad two seasons ago, will have a new-look roster as bench boss James Duncan begins his first full campaign at the helm in October.
Power forward Reggie Warren, one of the league¡¯s most productive front court players and an integral part of the Rizing¡¯s rise to title contender under ex-coach Atsushi Kanazawa, has rejoined the Kyoto Hannaryz, his employer in 2010-11. The deal was made official on Monday.
