Although ruled out of Gilas Pilipinas' tuneup in China, Scottie Thompson hopes to recover in time for the FIBA World Cup next month.
“He’s got a much more fuller range of motion on his hand now, so it seems like he’s always been a quick healer, [much like] with his history with Ginebra,” Cone, who is also Thompson’s PBA coach, said on Friday, July 21.
Cone said Thompson remains a key piece for Gilas, noting the playmaker’s familiarity with his teammates. “The energy he brings is uncommon among the team players so we need that energy that he brings, day in and day out to every practice, and of course, to every game.”
