TNT optimistic on Hollis-Jefferson's playoff readiness despite ankle sore

TNT coach Chot Reyes expressed optimism about Rondae Hollis-Jefferson's fitness for the upcoming PBA Governors' Cup playoffs, despite the player sitting out their final group stage game due to a sore ankle.

Hollis-Jefferson's absence did not prevent TNT from securing their eighth win in ten games, entering the quarterfinals with momentum.

The Tropang Giga are facing other physical concerns, including Calvin Oftana who sustained a busted lip during their recent game.

Coach Reyes acknowledged that dealing with injuries is part of the playoff experience but emphasized the team's goal to be as close to full strength as possible.

TNT's quarterfinal opponent will be determined by the outcome of a game between NLEX and Barangay Ginebra.
