It's been a week since Osaka Evessa star Lynn Washington was cleared of all drug charges by Osaka Prefectural Police after 18 days in custody. Yet there still has been no formal announcement by either the Western Conference team or the bj-league about Washington's status.
A league insider told The Japan Times he believes a decision will be made on Monday. The league's board of directors reportedly discussed Washington's status during a meeting on Thursday evening, but no real details have emerged.
Furthermore, the league is not expected to sanction Washington in any fashion. It appears the decision on the star's return rests solely with the Evessa.
