MANILA--Arwind Santos is officially back!
The San Miguel winger played his best game since undergoing knee surgery in the team's 82-75 win against Rain Or Shine on Saturday at the Mall of Asia Arena in Pasay.

With Alex Cabagnot out due to viral infection and Mike Singletary also having a fever, although he put up good numbers, Santos took over, tallying 20 points, nine rebounds, and four blocks in a performance reminiscent of his days with FEU.
Santos' impressive outing earned him the Accel-PBA Press Corps Player of the Week award as announced on Tuesday.
Santos beat Alaska's Chris Banchero and Calvin Abueva, TNT's Jayson Castro, Ginebra's Scottie Thompson, and NLEX's Garvo Lanete for the said citation.
