The former Ateneo high school star attended Gilas' practice at Moro Lorenzo last week but has yet to join the buildup for the World Cup as he recovers from back spasms that hounded him late in his stint in the NBA Summer League.
Sotto bared he came out to support the Blue Eagles in the match against the Perpetual Help Altas.
“Happy ako makabalik sa Las Piñas, kung saan ako lumaki,” Sotto said.
“Maganda laban, and good to see mga teammates ko dati and coaches ko dati. Malapit lang naman ako dito so I have to come out and watch,” he added.
Ateneo remains on top of the Group A with a 3-0 record.
