With Alapag, Williams staying, Texters' PBA Grandslam bid on target

Talk N Text stays right on target for a rare PBA Grand Slam. That’s because team captain Jimmy Alapag and Kelly Williams, two of their best players, won’t be joining the Pilipinas-Smart Gilas in the coming FIBA Asia Champion’s Cup.



This was confirmed by Pilipinas-Smart Gilas coach Rajko Toroman to GMA News, claiming that the team has decided not to include Alapag, a co-Finals MVP winner of Jason Castro, and Williams, a former PBA MVP, in the national squad.

“We’ve decided to include only Asi Taulava and Dondon Hontiveros," Toroman said in a telephone interview. “We’ve figured that even if they join us, they will have a very short time getting accustomed to the things we’ve been doing. They’re currently on a vacation and then they will participate in the PBA All-Stars. They will just run short of time if they will join us."
