When the 2019-2020 B. League season was forced to end abruptly last month because of the COVID-19 outbreak, the Utsunomiya Brex were among the contenders who lost their chance to capture the league title.
Nevertheless, it was still a special season for Ryan Rossiter, who has been one of Utsunomiya¡¯s star players since arriving in Japan in 2013, as he obtained Japanese citizenship during the season and made his debut for the men¡¯s national team in February.
The 206-cm forward/center started in all 40 games during the shortened season, averaging 18.0 points, 10.4 rebounds and 1.6 steals for the Brex, who finished second in the East Division with a 31-9 record.
