With center Julius Ashby serving a one-game suspension stemming from a tussle with Oita HeatDevils big man Devonne Giles last Saturday, Rizing Fukuoka could have been short-handed in the frontcourt on Thursday night.
Macho forward Reggie Warren refused to let that happen.
Warren provided 23 points, 11 rebounds, three assists, two steals and a block for the Rizing in an 82-71 home victory over the Hamamatsu Higashimikawa Phoenix.
