    ANTIPOLO – Veteran guard LA Tenorio receives another milestone in his PBA career as he will be recognized for playing his 700th consecutive career game on Sunday at the Ynares Center.

    The ceremony is going to be held at halftime of the Philippine Cup game between the Kings and Blackwater Bossing.

    A specially-crafted plaque with a PBA ball attached in the middle will be handed to the 37-year-old player widely acknowledged as the league’s Iron Man for not missing a single game in his entire 15-year career.

    The Kings are playing their first game in the season-opening conference after winning the Governors’ Cup championship last April.
