The Nebraska Cornhuskers men’s basketball team has officially announced the departure of star guard Keisei Tominaga, marking the end of an era for one of the most exciting young talents in college basketball. Tominaga, who has been a standout player for the Huskers, is now set to pursue his dream of playing in the NBA.
In his senior season, Tominaga averaged 15.1 points per game and led Nebraska with 76 three-pointers, shooting 38% from beyond the arc. His performance earned him Second-Team All-Big Ten honors and helped the Huskers secure their first NCAA Tournament appearance since 2014. Tominaga’s sharpshooting abilities and leadership on the court were instrumental in Nebraska’s success.
Following his college career, Tominaga signed an Exhibit 10 contract with the Indiana Pacers, a move that allows for a one-year, minimum-salary NBA contract with the potential to be converted into a two-way contract by the start of the regular season. This opportunity marks a significant step in his professional basketball journey.
Beyond his college achievements, Tominaga has represented Japan on the international stage. He was part of the Japanese national team that qualified for the 2024 Paris Olympics, showcasing his skills alongside NBA talents. His inclusion in the Olympic team highlights his status as one of Japan’s premier basketball players.
Tominaga’s departure from Nebraska signifies the end of a remarkable chapter for the Huskers. His contributions to the team and his impact on college basketball will be remembered by fans and teammates alike. As he embarks on his NBA career, Tominaga’s journey serves as an inspiration to aspiring athletes worldwide.
