Jones spent last season with Sun Rockers Shibuya, where he averaged 9.6 points, 5.7 rebounds, and shot 37.4% from three in 58 games. The 35-year-old has played in Japan since 2018, with previous stops at Alvark Tokyo, Kyoto Hannaryz, and Ryukyu.
The B.League is Japan’s top professional basketball league, made up of three divisions with promotion and relegation. It’s become an increasingly popular landing spot for former college and NBA players, with high-level imports taking on leading roles. Jones will join a Levanga team that already includes former NBA center Jahlil Okafor and former Penn State big man John Harrar.
At West Virginia, Jones was a key piece of the 2010 Final Four team and earned second-team All-American honors in 2012. He went undrafted but had a short stint with the Cleveland Cavaliers before continuing his career overseas.
Levanga finished near the bottom of the B1 standings last season and will look to Jones for veteran help on both ends of the floor.
If you want to follow Kevin this season, B.League games are available via streaming. Many matchups are shown for free on the league’s official international YouTube channel, often with English commentary. Full-season coverage is also available through platforms like DAZN in select regions. The league typically features 2–3 games per week with international broadcasts and highlights online.
