The Kawasaki Brave Thunders travel to the Dolphins Arena to take on the Nagoya Diamond Dolphins in an early Central Conference clash in the 2024-25 B.LEAGUE season.

Both teams head into the matchup with 1-1 records, eager to gain an edge in the standings after splitting their opening-weekend games.

Kawasaki’s season opener saw the team secure a solid 81-73 win over Akita, but they couldn’t maintain the momentum, dropping their second game of the weekend.

Star shooter Matthew Wright, who is expected to play a key role for the Brave Thunders, has struggled in the early going.

Wright has averaged just 3.5 points per game, scoring five points in the win over Akita but managing only two in their loss.

For Wright and the Brave Thunders, this series against Nagoya is an important chance to find their rhythm.


Wright’s ability to hit big shots, especially from beyond the arc, will be crucial as the Brave Thunders look to establish themselves as a top contender in the B.LEAGUE.

As they face a Nagoya team that also split their games against the Fighting Eagles, Wright’s shooting and leadership will be key to securing a series of victories on the road.

The weekend set is scheduled for October 12 and 13.
