This will be Ravena’s fourth season in the Japan B.League.
It’s been a while since fans saw Thirdy Ravena in action.
After not being fielded in Gilas Pilipinas’ final three tune-up games in Manila, the high-flying Ravena has not been seen with Gilas anymore.
For those wondering where Thirdy is—well, look no further.
In his Instagram story, Ravena posted videos of him back with the San-en Neophoenix, who is getting ready for the upcoming Japan B.League season.
San-en finished 16th in the standings last season with a 23-37 record.
In his third season with the team, Ravena had some of his best numbers yet, posting per game averages of 11.5 points, 4.9 rebounds, 4.3 assists, and 1.1 steals.
Despite being busy once more in Japan, Ravena still finds time to watch Gilas’ games in the FIBA World Cup, showing love and support to his brothers with whom he spent nearly two months preparing for the FIBA World Cup. Ravena was with Gilas in both its European training camp and in the pocket tourney in Japan.
The younger Ravena even posted a photo of Gilas’ recent game versus South Sudan with the caption: “Babawi tayo.”
Ravena will definitely want to translate some of his learnings from the Gilas training camp to his stint with the Neophoenix, who will be looking to improve on its 23-37 record this upcoming season.
