Props to him for still being in the league
Wtf happened to Yuta Watanabe
He got tired of traveling and jumping from team to team with his wife who doesn’t speak English so he just wanted to go back home.
Not sure his wife traveled with him much. She’s a popular actress/model in Japan who does a lot of work. She’s probably more popular than Yuta. Source: Me, part Japanese.
AI so may or may not be completely accurate
Yuta Watanabe, the Japanese basketball player, is married to Akiko Kuji, a former Fuji Television announcer and model. Throughout his NBA and international basketball stints, the couple has frequently traveled together to accommodate his relocations, from North America back to Japan. After marrying, Kuji transitioned into a freelance career and regularly traveled to the United States with Watanabe during his NBA runs with teams in Brooklyn and Phoenix With Watanabe’s professional career taking him back to Japan, the couple returned home, with Kuji often documenting their domestic lifestyle and walks together online.

You’re getting downvotes because if we wanted an AI summary, we do it ourselves; plus you had a perfectly great answer from the poster above. Imagine social media when it’s literally just AI replies/summaries back and forth? That’s what you’re doing here.
He declined his player option and went back home to play in the Japanese B.League
I think he said that the competitive nature of the league got to him, like getting traded, benched, etc. and that he wants to just play basketball and have fun. He’s in Japan right now playing for the Chiba Jets and the national team for FIBA.
Went back to Japan. He was awful on the Suns. He looked like his confidence had gone down
Could he join Watanabe in Japan if he doesn’t get a partially guaranteed min contract? Yuta is making a lot (5M after taxes) in Japan and he could probably also earn a lot there and live like a king in Japan.
Gotta keep the dream alive!
if he is 6’2”, he’d be a staple third stringer guard at the very least
If he’s 6’2 hes a legit starter lol
Ooohh those are some nice passes
