    Handy was noticeably at the back of the FiberXers’ bench on Wednesday night during their PBA on Tour game against TNT.

    Head coach Aldin Ayo said the training was made possible by Converge assistant team manager Jacob Lao and Frank Lao, one of the team’s supporters.

    Handy will be working with the team sometime this week.

    “He is a guest and he is going to work out with the team,” said Ayo.

    Handy is known for his player development work during his stint in the NBA, most recently with the Lakers. He won an NBA title as an assistant coach with the Cleveland Cavaliers in 2016, Toronto Raptors in 2019, and the LA Lakers in 2020.
