Ray Parks Jr. Commits to Osaka: A Win for Filipino Hoops Abroad
The Filipino basketball trailblazer continues his journey in Japan.
Ray Parks Jr., one of the most prominent Filipino imports in Japan’s B.League, has officially signed a contract extension with Osaka Evessa, confirming his return for the upcoming season. The move cements Parks’ status as a vital piece of Osaka’s long-term vision—and a rising force in Asia’s top basketball circuit.
Why Osaka Wants Him Back
Parks joined Osaka in 2023 and immediately made an impact with his two-way game. Averaging double digits in scoring and guarding the opponent’s best wings, Parks provided much-needed consistency and leadership on the court.
His renewed deal signals trust from the Osaka front office and satisfaction with his role both as a player and a brand ambassador for the team.
“It’s an honor to continue my journey with Osaka,” Parks said. “I’m grateful for the trust and excited for what we’ll build moving forward.”
A Filipino Flagbearer in International Hoops
Parks isn’t just representing Osaka—he’s flying the flag for Filipino basketball on the international stage. His continued presence in the B.League helps fuel global respect for Pinoy players, opening more doors for rising stars in the Philippines.
