MANDALUYONG--Surprise! Rondae Hollis-Jefferson may be coming back to TNT.
The Jordan international is listed as the PLDT franchise's import for the PBA Governors' Cup and not Darius Days as previously reported.
In the roster reveal on Wednesday during the PBA Board of Governors press conference at the EDSA Shangri-la Hotel Garden Ballroom, Hollis-Jefferson, who has been entertaining offers from some European teams, is listed as the Tropang Giga's foreign reinforcement.
Days was not listed in the lineup at all even as a reserve, seemingly implying that TNT may have already sent him home.
Hollis-Jefferson helped the Tropang Giga capture the last Governors' Cup championship in 2023 at the expense of Barangay Ginebra featuring resident import Justin Brownlee.
Brownlee seemingly got back at Hollis-Jefferson when Gilas Pilipinas beat Jordan also last year in the Asian Games men's basketball final.
TNT brought Hollis-Jefferson back during last season's Commissioner's Cup to replace opening night import Quincy Miller, but following a neck injury he suffered during its EASL game last December against Taipei Fubon, older brother Rahlir stepped in PBA-wise.
The Tropang Giga will collide with the NorthPort Batang Pier on Tuesday night at the Smart Araneta Coliseum in Quezon City to open their campaign for the entire PBA 49th Season.
