Player Statement: "The past two years with the Gunma Crane Thunders have meant a lot to me. I’m truly grateful for the way the organization, my teammates, and especially the fans welcomed me from day one.

Of course, I wish I could have been out there with the team for the final games and continued helping on the court. Unfortunately, things didn’t work out that way, which makes saying goodbye even harder.

Still, I look back on my time here with a lot of gratitude. I experienced many special moments, met great people, and created memories that I will always carry with me.

Thank you to all the fans for your support, your energy, and the respect you always showed me. Thank you to the management, coaches, staff members, and everyone behind the scenes who works every day for this team. And thank you to my teammates, it was an honor to share this journey with you!

Thank you for everything. JT"
