The Tokyo Apache's immediate future is still up in air.

Though the team and the bj-league announced on Tuesday that the Apache have suspended operations and won't field a team in 2011-12 due to financial problems, at least two groups are actively seeking to purchase the team, The Japan Times has learned.

One group, led by American entrepreneur Todd Wiley, who resides in Kanto, and former NBA Japan director of business development and business operations Dan Weiss, will meet with commissioner Toshimitsu Kawachi on Monday.
