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.
