TNT and the Jordan national team played a tune-up game which ended in an 83-83 draw on Saturday at the Gameville Central Park in Mandaluyong City.
Both teams are preparing for their respective tournaments with the Tropang 5G build-up for the resumption of the PBA 50th Season Governors’ Cup, and Jordan getting ready for their campaign in the 20th Asian Games.
TNT team manager Jojo Lastimosa said Rondae Hollis-Jefferson played 20 minutes in the game, a sign that the Tropang 5G’s resident import’s return could be sooner rather than later.
