“I can’t wait to meet the fans, play with them, and compete for a championship.”
Ravena, who posted norms of 10.51 points, 4.0 assists and 2.59 rebounds a night last season, was with Shiga in its highs and lows.
He was there when the Lakes were relegated to B2 a few seasons back and when Shiga returned to the B1 division while also winning the B2 title in the process.
Before the new B.League season, Ravena will be suiting up for Philippine side Strong Group in the 43rd William Jones Cup happening next month.
Yokohama finished with a 24-36 record last season.
