Ravena shows up

It didn’t take long for Kiefer Ravena to prove he’s back in the Philippine Basketball Association (PBA).

The NLEX guard hardly showed rust following a long break as he has been playing solid and putting up impressive numbers in the season-ending Governors’ Cup.

In only his third game since returning from an 18-month suspension, Ravena already scored a season-high 25 points capped by a 5-of-8 clip from three-point range as the Road Warriors downed Blackwater Elite, 115-109, at the Sta. Rosa Multi-Purpose Complex in Laguna.

The 25-year-old playmaker out of Ateneo de Manila University also added seven rebounds and seven assists as NLEX continued its surge on top of the standings with a 3-0 record.

In the playing period 23 to 29 September, the Road Warriors won two straight games with Ravena averaging 20.0 points, 7.0 rebounds, and 7.5 assists to earn the PBA Press Corps-Cignal Player of the Week.
