"My two warriors! Thank you Lord for giving my wife enough strength to deliver this 8lbs little angel," the reigning PBA MVP said in an Instagram post.

For Gilas deputy coach and Ginebra mentor Tim Cone, Thompson's services to the national team in the 32nd Southeast Asian Games will be sorely missed.
And even if Scottie's wife gave birth slightly earlier than expected, Cone sees a small window of opportunity for Thompson to rejoin the Gilas squad in time for the tournament.
“She’s [Jinky] set to give birth anywhere between May 8 to 10, so it really smacks in the middle [of the SEA Games],” said Cone. “Even if he goes and flies back, and goes back [again], I don’t know if that’s advisable either.”
