With Jordan Heading out indefinitely, the Converge FiberXers have to find a way to get things going in the PBA Season 49 Philippine Cup.
Still searching for consistency in the absence of its top guns, Converge hopes to bounce back strong as it tangles with Blackwater in the PBA Season 49 Philippine Cup at the Ninoy Aquino Stadium in Malate on Sunday, April 13.
Match starts at 7:30 p.m.
The FiberXers are coming off a 71-83 setback to Magnolia on the league’s 50th anniversary celebration last April 9.

With Jordan Heading sidelined indefinitely due to a lingering back injury, Converge leaned heavily on Justine Baltazar and Justin Arana, but their combined efforts were not enough. The FiberXers fell instead to 1-2.
Now, the FiberXers look to regroup and rediscover their offensive rhythm against the Bossing, who are also reeling from a tough 84-106 defeat at the hands of the Hotshots.
As Converge adjusts sans Heading, the team will lean on Baltazar and Arana for leadership.
