NORTHPORT plays without Australian import Venky Jois when it plays a survival game against Magnolia on Friday in Season 49 Philippine Basketball Association Governors’ Cup at the Ninoy Aquino Stadium.
It is uncertain whether NorthPort will still bring in a replacement import. If they upset Magnolia, an import is likely to be tapped for their last elimination game, against TNT Tropang Giga on Sunday.“It is going to be a dangerous game. I reminded my players not to fall into the trap,” Victolero told BusinessMirror through a phone interview. “They may play without an import, but we know the capability of this team. They will fight up to the last second for sure.
