Thirdy Ravena begins training with Japanese club San-en
MANILA, Philippines — Three-time UAAP Champion Thirdy Ravena has officially joined the San-en NeoPhoenix squad in practice after finishing his mandatory 14-day quarantine.
Ravena, who had visa troubles that hindered him from joining the Japan B. League team earlier, will make his professional basketball debut on November 7 against Shimane Susanoo Magic.
The Japanese club welcomed the former Ateneo star with open arms in his first practice with the team.
The team promoted his arrival with a photoshoot and a live interview on messaging app Line.
Having missed a significant part of the B. League season, Ravena will have the tall task of reinforcing San-en which is currently last in the standings.
NeoPhoenix only registered their first win of the season last Wednesday, October 28 after beating Kyoto Hannaryz, 94-75.
