Bennie’s back in town
American forward Bennie Boatwright is in the Philippines to begin his naturalization process to play for Gilas Pilipinas.
He is scheduled to appear before Congress on Wednesday and will attend Gilas Pilipinas practices during his five-day stay.
Boatwright, who plays for the Fubon Braves in Taiwan's P.League+, previously had his naturalization process delayed due to an Achilles injury sustained last year.
He recently returned to Fubon and has shown strong offensive performance, including a 20-point game with four three-pointers and a 21-point outing in the EASL.
Gilas Pilipinas' current naturalized player, Justin Brownlee, is preparing to join the team's training camp for the upcoming FIBA World Cup Asia qualifiers against Guam.
