From the YOMIURI SHIMBUN, "Yuta Tabuse's desire to play in the NBA again hasn't waned. But playing in Japan will give him the valuable playing time that he never got in three years in the NBA Development League and sharpen his game for another shot at the top. ‘My desire to once again try for the NBA has not changed,' Tabuse said at a press conference Tuesday in Tokyo. ‘I played three years in the development league, but I felt I needed a change of surroundings. I spent most of the time on the bench and I wanted to play more.' Tabuse will get plenty of court time with the Link Tochigi Brex, the newest member of the Japan Basketball League with whom he signed a two-year contract. Tabuse, the only Japanese native to play in the NBA after appearing in four games with the Phoenix Suns in 2004, will be reunited with his high school coach, Mitsuhiko Kato.”
