  • Bol Bol draws attention on and off court as PBA reminds TNT of media duties

    Bol Bol draws attention on and off court as PBA reminds TNT of media duties

    Fresh off TNT Tropang 5G’s March 22 win over NLEX, where Bol Bol was named Best Player of the Game, the 7-foot-3 import once again chose to skip post-game interviews. 


    His continued absence from media availability prompted the PBA Commissioner’s Office to step in, issuing a memorandum to the TNT franchise reminding them of their responsibilities to supporters and the press.

     

    Commissioner Willie Marcial confirmed that the memo was sent following Bol Bol’s refusal to face the media, even after encouragement from team manager Jojo Lastimosa.

     

    Despite the situation, TNT head coach Chot Reyes stood by his import, emphasizing that Bol is still adjusting—not just to the PBA’s physical style of play, but also to the attention that comes with being one of the league’s biggest names. 

     

    “He really doesn’t like media attention. He’s a very private, very shy person,” Reyes said. 

    The son of late NBA player Manute Bol is navigating unfamiliar territory, where fan interaction and media presence are part of the role.

     

    “This is his first time outside the country. Everything is new to him—not just the game, but the culture,” the veteran head coach added.

    Marcial pointed out that this isn’t a new scenario. He recalled a similar situation involving former TNT import Rondae Hollis-Jefferson, who also had to be reminded of his responsibilities early in his PBA stint. 

     

    Over time, Hollis-Jefferson embraced the league’s culture and went on to become one of its most respected imports.

     

    Bol Bol’s situation appears to follow a similar path. Beyond skipping interviews, he has also been reserved when it comes to engaging with fans—a contrast to the expectations placed on star imports in the league. 

     

    Still, there is a belief within the organization that, like his predecessor, he will gradually warm up as he becomes more comfortable.

     

    On the court, In his PBA debut, Bol Bol delivered an eye-catching performance with 38 points, 16 rebounds, and five blocks, immediately showcasing the kind of presence TNT envisioned when they signed him.

    While on his previous winning game, he was able to lead his squad with 40 points, 15 rebounds, and 1 assists. 

     

    As TNT continues its campaign, Bol Bol’s journey in the PBA is shaping up to be more than just about numbers. It’s a transition one that involves adapting to a new league and meeting expectations both on and off the court.

  • Chot Reyes admits Bol Bol is still adapting to the PBA after a monstrous performance vs. NLEX

    Chot Reyes admits Bol Bol is still adapting to the PBA after a monstrous performance vs. NLEX

    The TNT Tropang Giga wasted no time bouncing back from their opening setback in the 2026 Philippine Basketball Association Commissioner’s Cup, grinding out a hard-fought 103–97 victory over the NLEX Road Warriors on Sunday, March 22, at the Ynares Center in Antipolo.

     

    At the heart of TNT’s resurgence was their high-profile import Bol Bol, who delivered another eye-popping performance with 40 points, 15 rebounds, and two blocks. The former NBA big man continues to make an immediate impact in his early PBA stint, following up his explosive debut outing where he tallied 38 points, 16 rebounds, and five blocks in a narrow 112–109 loss to the Rain or Shine Elasto Painters.

     

    Despite those gaudy numbers in his first game, TNT head coach Chot Reyes made it clear that statistics alone were not enough. The veteran tactician had openly expressed disappointment after the opening loss, pointing to a lack of effort rather than execution. That narrative, however, shifted after TNT’s response against NLEX.

     

    OKBET is Asia’s most trusted and popular online sports gaming platform. Visit us on OKBET to stay up to date with all sports news from around the world.

     

    “My entire pregame was very simple actually. It can boil down to one word and I just said it boiled down to effort. The reason why I was upset when we lost the last game was because I felt Rain or Shine just simply outworked us. For us, effort is a sacred value and we can accept teams outplaying us, being better than us, but we cannot accept the fact of losing the effort battle,” Reyes said in the postmatch press conference.

    The difference was evident on Sunday, as TNT showed more urgency on both ends of the floor, matching NLEX’s physicality while maintaining composure in crucial stretches. Bol’s dominance inside, coupled with improved team energy, allowed Tropang Giga to control the tempo and secure their first win of the conference.

     

    “That’s why today, that was my only message. I said I don’t care what you do, how many shots you miss, as long as we outwork the other team. And I thought Bol put in great effort on the floor,” he added.

     

    While Bol’s production has been nothing short of spectacular, Reyes emphasized that the 24-year-old is still in the process of adjusting to the unique style and intensity of PBA competition. Known for its physicality and relentless pace, the league presents a different challenge compared to the NBA.

     

    “But I think we still need to get a lot more work, some more work before he figures out really how to play here in the PBA. We told him. At least now, he is experiencing it first hand that this is a tough league. Hopefully, he keeps on improving,” Reyes concluded.

     

    With momentum now on their side, TNT will look to build consistency as they prepare for a marquee matchup against the San Miguel Beermen on Saturday, March 28, at the iconic Smart Araneta Coliseum. The brief break gives Reyes and his squad an opportunity to further refine their chemistry and reinforce the effort-driven identity their coach continues to demand.

  • PBA hands suspensions, hefty fines after Glenn Khobuntin–Jaylen Johnson altercation

    PBA hands suspensions, hefty fines after Glenn Khobuntin–Jaylen Johnson altercation

    The Philippine Basketball Association wasted little time drawing the line.

     

    Less than 24 hours after tensions boiled over at the Smart Araneta Coliseum, the league handed down sanctions to Glenn Khobuntin and Jaylen Johnson, whose physical altercation disrupted an otherwise tightly contested Commissioner’s Cup matchup.

     

    Khobuntin of the TNT Tropang 5G was met with a heavier penalty—a two-game suspension along with a P70,000 fine—while Rain or Shine Elasto Painters import Johnson received a one-game ban and a P50,000 fine.

     

    The penalties stemmed from a heated sequence late in the fourth quarter of Rain or Shine’s 112-109 victory, when what began as routine physical play quickly escalated. With just over six minutes remaining, the two players got tangled while battling for position—seconds later, they were on the floor exchanging punches in a moment that stunned both teams and the crowd.

     

    League commissioner Willie Marcial called both players in the following day, where they reportedly expressed regret over the incident. Still, the league made it clear that such actions would not be taken lightly.

     

    “That’s like firing a gun. After that, you’ll end up regretting it,” Marcial said on Khobuntin’s case, as quoted in the PBA website which announced the sanctions.

     

    The consequences are immediate. Khobuntin will miss TNT’s upcoming games, including their clash against NLEX Road Warriors and a marquee showdown with San Miguel Beermen. Johnson, meanwhile, will sit out Rain or Shine’s next assignment against the Meralco Bolts.

    What made the incident more jarring was its suddenness. There had been no prior signs of animosity between the two, making the eruption all the more unexpected in a game that had otherwise been defined by execution and intensity.

     

    Even observers from abroad took notice. A South Korean reporter familiar with Johnson’s stint in the Korean Basketball League weighed in on social media, expressing surprise at the turn of events.

     

    “Jaylen Johnson was a quiet player in the KBL, but he met with a rather dirty Filipino player to show UFC scenes,” said baekpd1983 on X. “In all sports, I think consideration for the opponent is important.”

     

    In a league known for its physicality, this moment served as a reminder of the fine line between competitiveness and control. The PBA’s swift action signals its intent to keep that balance intact—no matter the stakes.

  • Rain or Shine Coach Yeng Guiao gears up to challenge TNT, Bol Bol in PBA clash

    Rain or Shine Coach Yeng Guiao gears up to challenge TNT, Bol Bol in PBA clash

    Rain or Shine, under the guidance of veteran coach Yeng Guiao, is set to face off against TNT Tropang Giga and their towering import Bol Bol this Friday, March 20, at the Smart Araneta Coliseum. 

     

    The Elasto Painters come off a solid 116-109 win against the Macau Black Knights in their season opener of the PBA 50th Season Philippine Cup.

     

    Coach Guiao acknowledges TNT’s potential advantage, having scouted Rain or Shine’s first match and with the presence of Bol Bol, a towering import making his first overseas stint after playing for three NBA teams between 2019 and 2025.

     

    “Playing TNT and not having seen them play with Bol Bol, I think, gives them some sort of an advantage. They’ve seen us play now,” Guiao said. 

     

    “But at the same time, we also look at it as an advantage on our part for them to be playing their first game because I’m sure there’s going to be some adjustments on their part also,” he added.

     

    While TNT may have had the chance to study Rain or Shine in their opener, Guiao sees a potential edge in Bol Bol still adjusting to the pace and style of the PBA. 

     

    “I’m sure Bol Bol is going to be feeling out the game and making some adjustments. That might be an advantage for us, him not being able to familiarize and acclimatize himself with the local game,” the 66-year-old veteran coach noted.

     

    OKBET is Asia’s most trusted and popular online sports gaming platform. Visit us on OKBET to stay up to date with all sports news from around the world.

    Despite missing the chance to clash in the previous conference after falling to Meralco Bolts in the playoffs, the Elasto Painters are eager to reclaim their standing in the elimination round with strategic adjustments and team chemistry.

     

    Beyond the on-court matchup, this game represents an early test of endurance and adaptability for both squads, with Rain or Shine hoping to leverage their cohesive rotation and home-court momentum. 

     

    Coach Guiao believes the tactical chess match will be decided not just by Bol Bol’s presence but also by how quickly TNT’s supporting cast can adapt to Rain or Shine’s defensive schemes and transition game.

     

    Later in the evening, the Macau Black Knights will face off against Barangay Ginebra San Miguel.

  • Jayson Castro returns for Season 50 as TNT banks on veteran leader in Commissioner’s Cup

    Jayson Castro returns for Season 50 as TNT banks on veteran leader in Commissioner’s Cup

    The TNT Tropang 5G will welcome back a familiar leader as the franchise prepares for the start of the Philippine Basketball Association Season 50 Commissioner’s Cup on Wednesday at the Ninoy Aquino Stadium.

     

    Veteran playmaker Jayson Castro returns for his 17th campaign in the league, marking a significant step in his comeback after a serious knee injury sidelined him for months.

     

    Castro suffered a patellar tendon tear during TNT’s semifinal clash against the Rain or Shine Elasto Painters in last season’s Commissioner’s Cup. The injury forced the longtime star guard to spend the past several months focused on recovery and rehabilitation, eventually missing the entire Philippine Cup.

     

    Without their veteran floor general, TNT still managed to reach the finals of that conference before falling to the powerhouse San Miguel Beermen.

     

    Now healthy enough to return, Castro resumes his role as one of the team’s most important leaders. At 39, the player known as “The Blur” remains a steady presence whose experience could prove crucial for a TNT squad leaning on guards Rey Nambatac and Jordan Heading in the backcourt rotation.

     

    Before the injury, Castro averaged 9.5 points per game during the conference and has maintained a 14.1-point career scoring average across his long tenure with TNT.

     

    OKBET is Asia’s most trusted and popular online sports gaming platform. Visit us on OKBET to stay up to date with all sports news from around the world.

    His decorated résumé includes multiple championships and individual honors, with the most recent being named the  PBA Governors’ Cup Finals MVP in 2024, adding to his reputation as one of the league’s most accomplished point guards.

     

    TNT will enter the new conference with high expectations. The team is widely viewed as an early contender after securing NBA veteran Bol Bol as its import, a move expected to strengthen the Tropang 5G’s inside presence.

     

    Meanwhile, the team will open the conference without veteran big man Poy Erram, who was placed on the injury/reserved list.

     

    As the Commissioner’s Cup begins, Castro’s return provides TNT with something that cannot easily be replaced—experience, leadership, and the steady hand of a champion guard who has spent nearly two decades guiding the franchise.

  • Calvin Oftana cautions against high expectations for TNT import Bol Bol

    Calvin Oftana cautions against high expectations for TNT import Bol Bol

    The arrival of Bol Bol has instantly made TNT one of the most talked-about teams ahead of the 2026 PBA Commissioner’s Cup.

     

    But for Tropang Giga forward Calvin Oftana, the presence of the 7-foot-3 former NBA big man doesn’t automatically translate to a championship repeat.

     

    Speaking on the sidelines of the PBA All-Star Weekend, Oftana stressed that reputation alone won’t decide the outcome of games once the conference begins.

     

    “Hindi naman porke ganito yung import ninyo, ganun ang import ninyo,” said Oftana.

     

    “Pagdating naman kasi sa laro iba na yung mindset nun. Lahat gustong manalo.”

     

    The Gilas Pilipinas forward admitted he has yet to spend much time on the court with Bol as he was busy with national team duties during the recent FIBA World Cup qualifiers before turning his attention to rehabilitating an ankle injury.

     

    Because of that, Oftana said he hasn’t been able to fully gauge where the towering reinforcement currently stands in terms of conditioning.

     

    “So far OK naman siya pero sabi nga nila wala raw sa kundisyon,” he said.

     

    OKBET is Asia’s most trusted and popular online sports gaming platform. Visit us on OKBET to stay up to date with all sports news from around the world.

    Fortunately for TNT, the team still has time to build chemistry before opening its campaign. The Tropang Giga are scheduled to play their first game of the conference on March 20 against Rain or Shine.

     

    Despite the attention surrounding Bol’s arrival, Oftana shared that the South Sudanese-American has kept a low-key presence within the team.

     

    “Approachable naman siya, pero mahinhin,” said the former NCAA MVP from San Beda.

     

    “Pero ganun naman ang mga import. Dati si Rondae (Hollis-Jefferson) ganun din naman. Pero kalaunan nung naglalaro na kami, nakukuha na namin yung loob niya. And napapatawa na siya ng mga kasama ko.”

     

    Even as TNT prepares to defend its crown, Oftana believes the road to another title will be far from easy.

     

    He pointed to several contenders who could stand in the way of the Tropang Giga’s bid, including powerhouse teams San Miguel Beer and Barangay Ginebra, along with guest squad Macau Black Bears.

     

    “Maraming quality imports na dumating ngayon this conference,” Oftana admitted.

  • Bol Bol enters evaluation phase as TNT Tropang 5G opens training camp for  PBA Commissioner’s Cup title defense

    Bol Bol enters evaluation phase as TNT Tropang 5G opens training camp for  PBA Commissioner’s Cup title defense

    The spotlight isn’t on game night just yet—it’s on preparation.

     

    As defending champions gear up for another run in the PBA Commissioner’s Cup, TNT Tropang 5G has shifted its focus to a crucial four-day training block at the Inspire Sports Academy, where new import Bol Bol begins what could be the most important stretch of his transition into Philippine basketball.

     

    Rather than immediate expectations, the camp is designed as a controlled environment—part conditioning reset, part system immersion—for the 7-foot-3 former NBA big man.

    Team manager Jojo Lastimosa said the closed-door setup allows the coaching staff to closely monitor Bol’s progress as he adapts to TNT’s structure and pace.

     

    “I still have to see him in kind of at least full strength because he’s not in shape yet,” said Lastimosa on Wednesday at the Smart Araneta Coliseum during the MVP Olympics All-Star Game.

     

    “So I want to see him how he does in the camp, how he understands the system and all that.”

    Bol’s arrival comes with intrigue not just because of his rare size and skillset, but also because of his basketball lineage as the son of late NBA defensive icon Manute Bol. 

     

    OKBET is Asia’s most trusted and popular online sports gaming platform. Visit us on OKBET to stay up to date with all sports news from around the world.

    He first linked up with the team earlier this week during a light session at the Moro Lorenzo Gym, marking his initial on-court introduction to teammates and coaches.

     

    Later that evening, Bol observed from courtside alongside team owner Manny V. Pangilinan and PBA chairman Ricky Vargas, as Lastimosa coached against a squad handled by Luigi Trillo in a tightly contested exhibition.

     

    While TNT enters the conference carrying championship momentum, Lastimosa emphasized that Bol’s integration remains a process rather than a guarantee.

     

    “It remains to be seen,” said the TNT team manager and former coach. “But I’m hopeful because he’s got experience and we know he got skills.”

     

    Bol’s professional journey includes NBA stints with the Denver Nuggets, Orlando Magic, and Phoenix Suns, and his arrival has naturally drawn comparisons to TNT’s previous import success with Rondae Hollis-Jefferson, who powered the franchise to last season’s Commissioner’s Cup crown.

     

    Still, the immediate objective is simpler: build rhythm, build chemistry, and rebuild conditioning.

    The Tropang 5G will conclude camp on Saturday, hoping the controlled grind becomes the foundation for another championship push.

  • Bol Bol arrives to boost TNT Tropang 5G title hopes  

    Bol Bol arrives to boost TNT Tropang 5G title hopes  

    The spotlight quickly followed Bol Bol upon his arrival in the Philippines, signaling not just the entry of a new import but the arrival of one of the tallest and most fascinating talents to ever suit up in the Philippine Basketball Association.

     

    Fresh from his NBA journey, the 7-foot-3 forward landed at Ninoy Aquino International Airport, where he was greeted by Jojo Lastimosa as he officially began his stint with TNT Tropang Giga.

     

    Bol’s presence immediately adds a new layer of intrigue to the PBA import landscape. Standing at the same listed height as former PBA reinforcement PJ Ramos—who played under Manny Pacquiao during his brief coaching stint with Kia Sorento in 2014—Bol enters the league with far more global recognition and a unique modern skill set for a player his size.

     

    Now 26, Bol arrives carrying experience from multiple NBA stops, beginning with the Denver Nuggets, where his pro career started in 2019 after being selected No. 44 overall by the Miami Heat. He later showcased flashes of his versatility with the Orlando Magic before his most recent stint with the Phoenix Suns.

     

    OKBET is Asia’s most trusted and popular online sports gaming platform. Visit us on OKBET to stay up to date with all sports news from around the world.

    While his NBA numbers—6.5 points and 3.5 rebounds across six seasons—may not fully reflect his physical gifts, Bol’s combination of length, mobility, and perimeter skill has long made him one of the league’s most intriguing projects. 

     

    His most productive stretch came during the 2022-23 season, when he averaged 9.1 points, 5.8 rebounds, and 1.2 blocks in expanded minutes, hinting at the impact he can deliver when given a larger role.

     

    Basketball lineage also follows him. Bol is the son of late NBA giant Manute Bol, whose 7-foot-6 frame made him one of the tallest players in league history. Like his father, Bol brings elite rim protection—but unlike him, the younger Bol adds guard-like handles and shooting range developed during his college run with Oregon Ducks men’s basketball.

     

    For TNT, Bol’s arrival is more than just a roster move—it’s a gamble on upside. In a league where dominant imports often dictate championship runs, the Tropang Giga are banking on Bol’s rare blend of size and skill to reshape their campaign and create matchup problems across the conference.

  • TNT weighs Bol Bol as possible Commissioner’s Cup import

    TNT weighs Bol Bol as possible Commissioner’s Cup import

    The noise around TNT Tropang 5G possibly parading another NBA name as its next import is growing louder—but inside the camp, the tone remains far more cautious.

     

    Team manager Jojo Lastimosa has moved to temper expectations amid reports linking TNT to 7-foot-3 big man Bol Bol, stressing that while talks have happened, nothing is locked in just yet.

    “Nothing is definite,” Lastimosa said in a Viber message to a source.

     

    That clarification came after speculation that TNT was eyeing Bol as a potential reinforcement for the PBA Season 50 Commissioner’s Cup, especially with reigning Finals MVP Rondae Hollis-Jefferson still recovering from an Achilles injury.

     

     For a franchise fresh off a championship run, the logic behind scanning the market is clear. The Tropang 5G remain in win-now mode, and history suggests they won’t settle for a low-impact import.

     

    Still, league whispers suggest the situation could move quickly.

     

    Sources told that TNT management and Bol’s camp are already deep into negotiations,with optimism that a deal could be finalized within days—potentially clearing the way for the son of the late Manute Bol to finally see action in the PBA, a league that now has no height restrictions for imports.

     

    “Let’s just say na in the next two days, okay na ’yan. Magpipirmahan na ’yan,” said the source. 

     

    OKBET is Asia’s most trusted and popular online sports gaming platform. Visit us on OKBET to stay up to date with all sports news from around the world.

    If completed, the signing would be both intriguing and risky.

     

    Bol’s pedigree is undeniable. A former McDonald’s All-American and NBA lottery talent, he’s spent time with several NBA teams, most recently the Phoenix Suns. But his recent résumé raises fair questions. During the 2024–25 NBA season, he averaged 6.8 points and 2.9 rebounds in limited minutes across 36 games—respectable numbers, yet hardly dominant.

     

    More concerning is the lack of recent high-level competition. Since that stint, Bol has largely been off the radar. He was even slated to suit up for Sudan in the 2024 Paris Olympics, only to withdraw at the last minute due to undisclosed personal reasons.

     

    That uncertainty is exactly why TNT remains guarded.

     

    “You can never be sure until he arrives,” Lastimosa said in a statement posted on the team’s social media pages.

     

    For now, that sums up the situation perfectly. On paper, Bol’s length, mobility, and perimeter touch could give TNT a new dimension—especially after coming off a tough six-game Finals loss to San Miguel in the Philippine Cup. In reality, however, the Tropang 5G know better than to count wins before their import even steps off the plane.

     

    Until Bol Bol is actually in Manila, the buzz remains just that—buzz.

  • Calvin Oftana reflects on TNT’s Philippine Cup heartbreak, praises San Miguel’s dominance

    Calvin Oftana reflects on TNT’s Philippine Cup heartbreak, praises San Miguel’s dominance

    For Calvin Oftana, Sunday night was a reminder of both the agony and grace that comes with competing at the highest level. Despite TNT Tropang 5G’s 92-77 loss to San Miguel Beermen in Game Six of the PBA Philippine Cup finals, Oftana’s focus remained on respect, reflection, and resilience.

     

    “Hats off to San Miguel. They did well this conference, talagang trinabaho nila ito,” he said after the game at the Mall of Asia Arena, where 14,201 fans witnessed the Beermen close out the best-of-seven series for the second straight all-Filipino Cup finals.

     

    The Tropang 5G forward, who finished with a team-high 28 points, seven rebounds, and five assists, recalled moments when TNT almost turned the tide.

     

     After falling behind 26-5 late in the first period, Oftana spearheaded a 14-0 run, scoring 15 points in the second quarter to bring TNT within striking distance at 34-33. 

     

    TNT even seized a brief 68-66 lead in the third before San Miguel reclaimed control, led by Finals MVP June Mar Fajardo and sharpshooter Marcio Lassiter.

    Yet the final quarter told a different story. Oftana went scoreless while San Miguel pulled away, underscoring the Beermen’s championship pedigree. Still, he remained composed in defeat, emphasizing acceptance and faith.

     

    “Ganun talaga ang buhay. May panalo, may talo,” he said. “Sabi ko nga sa sarili ko, pini-pray ko Lord kung para sa amin ito, Thy will be done palagi. Kung ano ang gusto Niya. This is the outcome and we have to accept it. Move forward na.”

     

    Looking ahead, Oftana plans to recharge with family before joining Gilas Pilipinas for the upcoming FIBA window. “Pahinga muna ngayon with my wife, with my family back home. Marami ding oras na wala ako sa kanila dahil sa training and games,” he shared, showing that even in disappointment, priorities remain clear.

     

    Oftana’s words reflect a maturity beyond the stat sheet—a lesson in resilience, faith, and perspective for athletes and fans alike.
