RONDAE Hollis-Jefferson is scheduled to return to the Philippines next month - but not to play for TNT.
The Tropang 5G announced on their social media account that their resident import will conduct basketball clinics from June to July, with the club dubbing it as ‘RHJ on Tour.’
“Samahan si NBA vet at PBA Best Import Rondae Hollis-Jefferson, pati ang TNT Tropang 5G legends at coaches para sa isang solid na basketball clinic na siguradong magle-level up ng laro mo,” wrote TNT on its social media page.
TNT will make a separate announcement as to the venue of the basketball clinic where team manager Jojo Lastimosa, assistant coaches Ranidel De Ocampo and Bong Ravena, and active player Jayson Castro will also take part.
Welcome back, RHJ!
Hollis-Jefferson will come back to the Philippines for the first time since guiding the Tropang 5G to the Commissioner’s Cup title last March in a seven-game series against Barangay Ginebra.
Hollis-Jefferson signed a one-year contract to become TNT’s import for the Commissioner’s Cup and Governors’ Cup next season.
Lastimosa said that the contract includes a deal where he won'y play for other teams in order for him to rest in time for the Tropang 5G's campaign next year.

With him in the country for two months, it also appears that Hollis-Jefferson will be also around as a spectator in TNT’s bid to win a Grand Slam in the all-local Philippine Cup.
