“I am Nomi Yuujin, and I will be joining the Shimane Susanoo Magic. First of all, I would like to express my gratitude to the president and all the team members for giving me this opportunity.
This will be my first time playing for Shimane since the 2019-20 season, when I was a special designated player. I am very happy to be able to play basketball again for Shimane, the first professional team I have ever joined.
I will play with all my might to achieve the team’s goals, as well as to further my personal growth and achieve my own goals. Thank you to everyone in Shimane for your continued support!”
