MANILA, Philippines — Ken Tuffin of the FEU Tamaraws didn't show any first-game jitters with New Zealand National Basketball League (NZ NBL) team Taranaki Airs on Wednesday.
In his semi-pro debut, the Filipino-Kiwi forward posted a decent 10 points, four rebounds, two assists statline in Taranaki's 107-85 win over opponents Franklin.
The NZ NBL season kicked off a few days ago but Tuffin only received clearance to play from the UAAP on Wednesday.
Tuffin was an immediate starter for the Kiwi squad and gave his team a signifcant boost to take them to 2-0 in the standings.
Despite taking his talents into the semi-pro league in New Zealand, Tuffin is expected to be back with the FEU Tamaraws in UAAP Season 83.
Tuffin will play his fifth and final season with the Morayta-based squad in the delayed UAAP season, which will most likely start early next year.
