TNT Tropang 5G to vie for PBA Philippine Cup title despite key absences

The TNT Tropang 5G is gearing up for PBA Season 50, aiming to win the Philippine Cup after their previous bid for a Grand Slam was thwarted.

Key players like RR Pogoy, Rey Nambatac, Jordan Heading, and Calvin Oftana are expected to be fit for the season's opening on October 5.

However, Poy Erram is projected to return in about a month and a half, and Jayson Castro will miss the entire first conference.

Coach Chot Reyes acknowledges the difficulty of the upcoming season due to other teams' upgrades and TNT having a target on their backs.

The team also signed free agents Kevin Ferrer and Tyrus Hill, and is considering adding guard Jio Jalalon.
