Arwind Santos joins All-Star delegation
Santos has replaced the injured Gabe Norwood in the roster, and will be in line to make his 12th All-Star appearance on Sunday at the City of Passi Arena, but his first in a NorthPort uniform.
Santos is set to arrive in Iloilo City on Saturday night.
Santos is the latest player to make it to Team Japeth following injuries that included skipper Japeth Aguilar, and six-time MVP June Mar Fajardo.
Also skipping the All-Star Game due to injuries are LA Tenorio of Barangay Ginebra, Mikey Williams of TNT, and Terrence Romeo of San Miguel.
