Thirdy to miss couples of games

MANILA, Philippines — Thirdy Ravena will miss San En-Neo Phoenix’s season opener against Chiba Jets due to problems in securing his visa in time for his awaited Japan B. League debut.

The Ateneo standout is supposed to suit-up in NeoPhoenix’s pair of weekend home games against the Jets at the Hamamatsu Arena in Shizouka Perfecture.

NeoPhoenix hosts Chiba at 5:05 p.m. today and at 6:05 p.m. tomorrow.

But there’s the danger of Ravena missing more games.
