MANILA — Ray Parks Jr. remained mum on his next chapter after parting ways with Osaka Evessa in the Japan B.League.

Parks said he remains open to all opportunities, including a PBA comeback.

"Next question po tayo, mahirap po 'yan, pa-retiro na nga ako e," Parks initially said in jest.
"The PBA is doing what they're doing, for me I'm hoping for growth, I'm never closing the door to anybody naman," said Parks. "Philippines will always be my home, pero most probably, right now, focus muna ko sa offseason, whatever the chapter is right now."
The National University product confirmed that there are local and international offers on the table: "May mga offers naman tayo internationally and locally."
As he looked back on his Osaka career, Parks was just looking on the positives as he moves on to his next chapter.
"The stint was amazing especially like the first year. Second year, medyo rough honestly but it was great to be in Osaka. It's a beautiful city, I love my teammates, very talented... For me it was time to move on to the next chapter, whatever that may be."
