Jordan Heading is all set for his Converge and PBA debut in the Commissioner's Cup against the team that initially selected him in the special Gilas Draft.
The Converge FiberXers are set to unveil their newest weapon, Jordan Heading, as they face the Terrafirma Dyip to open the 2024 PBA Season 49 Commissioner’s Cup Wednesday.
Heading, the top pick from the 2021 Gilas draft by the Dyip, was recently acquired by Converge in a trade with Terrafirma and is finally set to make his PBA debut after stints in Taiwan and Japan's B.LEAGUE.
Adding to the excitement, Converge will field import Cheick Diallo, a former NBA big man with 183 career games under his belt.
Diallo likewise most recently showcased his skills in the B.LEAGUE for Kyoto Hannaryz, teaming up with former PBA standout Matthew Wright.
Facing the team that initially drafted him in his debut, Heading will aim to make an immediate impact for the FiberXers.
With a revamped roster and a powerhouse import, Converge hopes to start the conference on a winning note. Tip off is 5:00 p.m. live from the PhilSports Arena.
