“I talked to him [and asked], how does the NBA look, especially for Japanese people,” Hachimura said. On Saturday night in Memphis, Hachimura reunited with Clarke and Watanabe, both of whom play for the Grizzlies, for the first time in a regular season matchup, a 128-111 Wizards loss. Because the game already was underway when Hachimura and Clarke met up, their reunion was much more understated than Watanabe’s shoulder hug.
