Caelan Tiongson hopes to finally settle with PBA
Filipino-American forward Caelan Tiongson, a former standout for Alab Pilipinas, is finally entering the PBA Rookie Draft after pursuing other basketball ventures in the ABL and Taiwan.
Tiongson, 32, feels that now is the right time to join the PBA, seeing it as a long-term career opportunity in the Philippines.
He had previously considered joining the draft but postponed his entry to attend to family matters in the United States, dealing with his grandmother's illness.
His return to competitive play will be with Strong Group Athletics in the upcoming William Jones Cup, which he views as a crucial step in regaining his conditioning and form.
Tiongson expressed gratitude to Charles Tiu for the opportunity to play with Strong Group, highlighting the chance to practice with talented players after a significant layoff.
