TNT looking forward when Heading will join in their grand slam drive
THE TNT Tropang 5G are looking forward to getting trade acquisition Jordan Heading into the mix in their PBA grand slam drive — as soon as the former Converge sniper is good to go.
Mr. Heading, whom the Tropang 5G officially acquired in exchange for Mikey Williams in a deal that finally got league approval on Monday, has been sidelined by back spasms since the Commissioner’s Cup quarterfinals.
“We will see Jordan (Heading) on Wednesday since TNT is off day Tuesday. By then we will see how he feels and how he goes with practices and routines,” team manager Jojo Lastimosa told The STAR.
He stressed Mr. Heading’s debut with the Tropang 5G in the Philippine Cup will be dependent on his health condition.
“He (Mr. Heading) will tell us when he’ll be ready,” Mr. Lastimosa said.
Mr. Heading earlier said there’s “no timetable” for his return to competitive ball but shared he’s “doubling up” on rehab to get himself “back out on the court faster.”
TNT arranged to get Mr. Heading to address their manpower issues in the backcourt with veteran Jayson Castro out of the season due to knee injury and Rey Nambatac still recovering from groin injury.
In making this swap with Converge, the reigning Governors’ Cup and Commissioner’s Cup titleist also ended the long-standing contract negotiation impasse drama with Mr. Williams. — Olmin Leyba
