ROOKIE Tony Ynot is set for his PBA debut after being reactivated by Phoenix in time for its Commissioner's Cup game against Blackwater on Friday.
The 6-foot-1 guard's return completed the 15-man local lineup of the Fuel Masters for their showdown with the Bossing at the Ynares Center in Montalban.

This marks the reunion of Ynot with collegiate coach Charles Tiu along with College of St. Benilde teammates Will Gozum and JC Cullar.
Originally, Ynot was selected in the third round of Season 50 draft (No. 32 overall) by Converge.
But his playing rights were later traded by the FiberXers to Phoenix for James Kweketeye.
His entry came as the 3-3 Fuel Masters try to snap a two-game skid against the Bossing.
Blackwater has also reactivated Ichie Altamirano for its game against Phoenix in lieu of Jed Mendoza, who was relegated to the Unrestricted Free Agent list (with rights to salary).
The 1-5 Bossing are currently on a three-game slide and lost their first game under new coach Pat Aquino, 99-94, against reigning champion TNT .
