RONDAE Hollis-Jefferson expressed his desire to return to TNT in the coming Commissioner’s Cup of the PBA 49th Season.
The 29-year-old two-time Best Import said there is still nothing on the table for him as of right now, but he definitely wants to return to the Tropang Giga.
TNT team manager Jojo Lastimosa said the plan is to bring back Hollis-Jefferson after the Tropang Giga captured the Governors’ Cup plum at the expense of Barangay Ginebra via a 95-85 win in Game 6 at the Smart-Araneta Coliseum.

When informed about Lastimosa’s statement, Hollis-Jefferson said he is definitely interested to return.
“Let’s make that happen,” Hollis-Jefferson told SPIN.ph while on his way out of the Big Dome to join his teammates for their victory party.
Hollis-Jefferson ended the conference that saw him hailed as top reinforcement for the second time with another performance to remember, with 31 points, 16 rebounds, eight assists, and two steals.
He was part of TNT's 10-0 closing run which he actually began with back-to-back baskets that turned the tide for good.
For now, Hollis-Jefferson said he is not thinking about the future, and wants to celebrate the championship first.
“It’s up to the bosses. But right now, my team is waiting for me. We are champions. So we are going to enjoy the night,” he said.
