Former Kansas forward Landen Lucas will play professional basketball for Toyota Alvark Tokyo in Japan during the 2017-18 season, the team announced Tuesday on its official Website.
Alvark Tokyo officials indicated the 6-foot-10 Lucas “reached a basic agreement” with the squad.
Lucas’ mom, Shelley, on her sidelinesportsmom.com blog on Monday night explained that Landen had secured a three-year deal but could opt out after a year if he wishes to pursue the NBA. He recently completed a stint with the Boston Celtics in which he played in the Las Vegas Summer League.
“I am very excited to be joining the team as a member of Alvark Tokyo.
