Less than a week before the Japan women's national team begins competing at the FIBA Asia Championship, Seattle Storm rookie Ramu Tokashiki returned home to join the squad.
Her WNBA club, meanwhile, has seven games remaining this season.
On the court one day after flying to Japan from the United States, Tokashiki looked a little tired and could be seen yawning during a practice session at Tokyo's National Training Center on Monday. She said she was also "overwhelmed with the amount of plays" there were to memorize.
