Terrence Romeo started a new chapter in his basketball career on Wednesday as he joined TNT on its morning practice at Moro Lorenzo Sports Center in Ateneo.

The three-time Scoring Champion was with teammate Yousef Taha in the session as they were warmly welcomed to the team by coach Nash Racela and team manager Virgil Villavicencio.

“I feel like I’m a rookie again,” said Romeo, who was all smiles.

GlobalPort traded the two on Tuesday in exchange for Mo Tautuaa and future draft picks.

The transaction paved the way for Romeo’s reunion with Racela, who was his coach for a season in FEU, as well as ex-Tamaraws RR Garcia, Roger Pogoy, and Alfrancis Tamsi.

Unfortunately, Pogoy wasn’t present in the session as he was down with a flu.

Also part of the new faces in tow was Don Trollano, who was acquired from Rain or Shine in a one-on-one trade in exchange for Norbert Torres.
