After a successful road sweep in their opening weekend, Osaka Evessa return home to Ookini Arena Maishima to take on the Fighting Eagles Nagoya in an inter-conference showdown in the 2024-25 B.LEAGUE season.

With both teams looking to gain an early-season edge, Ray Parks Jr. will once again be a key figure for Osaka as they aim to maintain their perfect record.

Osaka opened the season with two wins over B2 champion Shiga Lakes, and Parks played a pivotal role in both victories.

His third-quarter scoring outbursts were crucial to Osaka’s second-half surges. In the first game, Parks ignited the offense with 11 points in the third quarter, leading the team to an 88-73 win.

Parks was even better in the second game, pouring in 16 points in the third quarter as Osaka claimed an 86-79 victory to complete the sweep.


For Parks, this upcoming series against the Fighting Eagles presents an opportunity to keep his hot streak alive.

The Fighting Eagles, coming off a 1-1 record after splitting their all-Nagoya showdown against the Diamond Dolphins, will be looking to contain Parks' offensive explosiveness, especially in the second half where he has been most dangerous.

Osaka’s first home set for the season are scheduled for October 12 and 13.
