SUTTON TO SUIT UP FOR TEXTERS IF THEY MAKE IT TO QF
If and when Talk n Text makes it to the quarterfinals of the PBA Governors’ Cup, its opponent can expect something new in the Tropang Texters’ game.
For one, they should be armed with a lot more firepower.
The reason?
The Texters have Dominique Sutton on hold. If TNT makes it to the playoffs, Sutton will suit up for coach Jong Uichico, replacing Steffphone Pettigrew.
Meralco will tow the Texters to the quarters with a win over Kia Wednesday but as eighth-seed, Uichico and company will have elims No. 1 team Alaska on the other end of the floor Friday. And they will have to win twice over the Aces to advance to the Final Four.
Sutton, who was measured at 6-4 7/16, saw action for Air21 last season and had to go through the waiver procedure before getting the green light to play for Talk n Text. He last saw action for the Santa Cruz Warriors, who won the NBA D-League title last April.
Sutton averaged 26.0 points, 15.4 rebounds, 3.4 assists and a league-best 2.4 steals for the Express last season. (SBadua)
