Bol Bol Staying Put: TNT Shuts Down Import Replacement Rumors
By Tonyos Sports
Rumors surrounding the future of Bol Bol with TNT Tropang 5G have officially been put to rest.
Team manager and head coach Jojo Lastimosa firmly denied circulating reports that the team is considering replacing its current import in the ongoing PBA Season 50 Commissioner’s Cup.
“No truth,” Lastimosa told Fastbreak when asked to confirm the speculation.
Social Media Buzz Quickly Dismissed
The rumors gained traction over the weekend, with claims suggesting that Bol Bol could be on his way out due to alleged struggles adjusting to the physical style of play in the Philippine Basketball Association.
However, TNT wasted no time in shutting down the narrative.
Sources close to the team emphasized that there have been no internal discussions about replacing Bol Bol, reaffirming their confidence in the 7-foot-3 big man.
Dominant Numbers Tell the Real Story
Far from struggling, Bol Bol has been a dominant force for TNT this conference.
The Sudanese center is currently putting up impressive numbers:
35 points per game
15 rebounds per game
1.2 assists per game
His length, versatility, and scoring ability have made him a matchup nightmare for opposing teams and a crucial piece in TNT’s title-retention campaign.
A Key Piece in TNT’s Title Defense
As the Tropang 5G continue their push for another championship, Bol Bol’s presence remains vital on both ends of the floor.
Despite outside noise, the organization remains focused and confident in their roster, with Lastimosa’s statement serving as a clear message: there is no issue to address.
Looking Ahead
With the Commissioner’s Cup heating up, TNT fans can expect Bol Bol to remain at the center of the team’s championship aspirations.
For now, the message is clear — no changes, no replacements, just winning basketball.
