Ben Mbala may have missed La Salle’s win over Far Eastern University on Sunday, but the reigning UAAP MVP is still flexing his muscles in a different basketball stage.
The 22-year-old Mbala is leading his home country Cameroon in the 2017 Fiba Afrobasket in Tunisia.
Mbala is leading the way for Cameroon, which advanced to the quarterfinals. The 6-foot-7 Mbala is averaging 18.3 points and 9.0 rebounds per game.
In his last outing, Mbala posted 16 points and 15 rebounds in an 81-77 victory over Rwanda.
The 22-year-old Mbala and the rest of the team face a tall order in the quarterfinals as they take on reigning champion Nigeria on Thursday.
