The NLEX Road Warriors are eager to start 2025 on a high note as they take on the Meralco Bolts in the PBA Season 49 Commissioner’s Cup on Friday, Jan. 10.

Match kicks off at 7:30 PM at the Ninoy Aquino Stadium.

NLEX, currently at 3-4, is on a three-game losing streak and has not played since a tough 99-95 defeat to Magnolia on December 20.

 With a 19-day break between then and now, the Road Warriors aim to regroup and bring their campaign back on track.

Key for NLEX will be their ability to shake off rust after the lengthy layoff.

The Road Warriors are banking on fresh legs and renewed energy as they face a Meralco squad hungry to build on its 4-3 record.

A win over Meralco would not only halt NLEX's slide but also reignite their playoff aspirations in the mid-season tournament.
