Baba (knee) recorded 15 points (7-10 FG, 1-3 3Pt), four rebounds, two assists and one steal in 29 minutes during Japan's 81-63 loss to Germany in the FIBA World Cup on Friday.
ANALYSISBaba missed the end of the 2022-23 G League season with the Texas Legends after being placed on the injured reserve with a knee injury. However, he appears to be fully recovered and is one of Japan's top options, along with
Yuta Watanabe, at the FIBA World Cup.
