Veteran forward Isaac Sojourner made an immediate impact when he joined the Saitama Broncos, scoring 28 points in his Broncos debut on Jan. 30.
The 33-year-old proved he still has plenty of spring in his step, especially on the defensive end, in Saitama's 83-74 triumph over the Tokyo Apache at Saitama City Memorial Gymnasium on Sunday.
Sojourner, nephew of the late ABA and Italian League player Willie Sojourner, had 11 points, 12 rebounds and a game-changing five blocks in 25 busy minutes, helping the Broncos (14-22) salvage a series split. Sojourner had a 14-point, 15-rebound effort in 24 minutes off the bench in Saturday's game.
