The San-en NeoPhoenix finished their Japan B. League season on a low note as the Shinshu Brave Warriors eked out an 80-75 win on Wednesday, May 5, at the Kotobuki Arena Chikuma.
As they wrapped up the season with a dismal 12-47 record, the NeoPhoenix wrapped up their campaign the same way they started it: without Filipino import Thirdy Ravena.
The 24-year-old star prospect failed to see any action in the team’s last 5 games after suffering a left knee injury.
Without Ravena’s two-way play, the 8-man Shinshu took advantage of the hapless San-en squad despite being hit with COVID-19 in the last two weeks.

Thirdy Ravena and the San-En NeoPhoenix couldn’t end their slide in the Japan B.League after absorbing a 94-87 road loss to the Shiga Lakestars Saturday, April 10, in Otsu, Japan.
The NeoPhoenix couldn’t sustain a nine-point third quarter lead as the Lakestars came back behind the hot-shooting of former NBA player Jordan Hamilton to suffer their seventh straight defeat.
Ravena scored 14 points on 5-of-8 shooting with three rebounds and two steals but his efforts were not enough as San-En dropped to 11-41 with eight games left in the season.
He also had to leave the game with 1:28 to go in the fourth quarter after an inadvertent elbow to side of the head by Hamilton during an inbound situation.
