PHOENIX gets help on Sunday as Jason Perkins is slated to come back for the Fuelmasters for his first game of the PBA 49th Season Philippine Cup.
Perkins sat out for the Fuelmasters due to a flu, and his return is a much-needed one after the team opened the conference with two straight losses.

“This is the first time that we are going to be able to compete with a complete line-up this conference,” said Jarin.
The Fuelmasters dropped their opening game against Terrafirma, 95-87, last April 4, then fell to Converge, 92-83, last April 6.
But Phoenix will have a tough task in its next match as the Fuelmasters go out against Meralco, a team that is coming off a 110-98 loss to San Miguel last Wednesday.
Although they opened the conference with two defeats, the Fuelmasters have something to look forward to with the improvement of Kai Ballungay. The No. 4 pick in the 49th Season draft is averaging 22.5 points and 13.5 rebounds over the first two matches.
“Kai Ballungay has been playing really well. But unfortunately, we are 0-2. Good thing about it is Jason Perkins will be playing in our next game,” said Jarin.
