Date: April 12, 2026
The biggest surprise of round 56 was guest Yamagata's (13-43) road victory over Aomori W. (#7) 78-72 on Sunday evening. Wyverns looked well-organized offensively handing out 21 assists. 24 personal fouls committed by Watts helped opponents get some easy free throw opportunities. The best player for the winners was American center Noah Waterman (211-2000, college: Louisville) who had a double-double by scoring 32 points, 14 rebounds and 6 assists. Forward Takumi Sato (190-1989) chipped in 7 points and 8 rebounds. American forward Tim Dalger (201-2000, college: St.Louis, agency: Diamond Sports) produced a double-double by scoring 16 points, 10 rebounds and 5 assists and his fellow American import Rashard Kelly (203-1995, college: Wichita St.) added 15 points and 6 rebounds respectively for the hosts. Four Watts players scored in double figures. Yamagata moved-up to fifth place. Aomori W. at the other side dropped to the sixth position with 44 games lost. They share it with Iwate. Yamagata are looking forward to face Shizuoka (#7) at home in the next round. Aomori W. will play against the league's second-placed Fukushima and is hoping to prove to their fans that the loss was just an accident.
