MANILA, Philippines—Thirdy Ravena reached a milestone in the Japan B.League on Saturday.
In San-En Neophoenix’s defeat against the Hiroshima Dragonflies, 84-74, Ravena served as a silver lining after chalking up a total of 1000 career points in the league as an Asian import.
The former Ateneo standout finished with 22 points and four assists in the loss.
“1,000 🖤 Wouldn’t be possible without all my teammates, the trust of the club and coaching staff, and of course, all our boosters! We’re just getting started!” Ravena posted on social media.
