A rep for 'The Game' has now disclosed that the 34-year-old actor will appear on the sitcom when it returns, but it's likely he will only appear as a recurring character instead of a series regular.
BV Buzz broke news on March 15 that BET had finally closed the deal to bring 'The Game' back to television.

This is MY SHOW!! I am so glad that they are bringing it back. Damn the CW, they got rid of all their black-themed shows and replaced it with boring shows featuring white people. I'm sorry that Coby won't be back as a cast member full time, which probably means that Jason and Kelly will be divorced...
