Looks like Kai Sotto is staying in Japan for another round.
Despite suffering a heartbreaking ACL injury that cut his season short, the 7-foot-3 Filipino big man isn’t ready to close the chapter on his Japan B.League journey just yet. On Friday, May 16, Sotto took to social media with a simple but powerful message: “I’m coming back.”
That’s right—Kai is officially re-signing with the Koshigaya Alphas for the 2025–26 season. And for fans who’ve been following his journey, it’s both a reassuring and inspiring update.
Many wondered what would be next for the 22-year-old after his unfortunate injury. But this latest move proves he’s not letting that setback define him. Instead, he’s using it as motivation to bounce back—stronger, smarter, and hungrier.
Sotto had shown flashes of brilliance in his first run with the Alphas before the injury, and now he’s gearing up for a proper comeback. While rehab and recovery are still part of the equation, one thing’s clear: Kai isn’t done making waves in Japan just yet.
For fans back home and across the basketball world, it’s another chapter to look forward to. Kai Sotto in the Land of the Rising Sun? Oh yeah, that story’s far from over.
