MANILA – Veteran forward Kelly Williams is making a return to TNT.
The Tropang Giga said on Thursday that Williams has essentially deferred retirement and signed another two-year deal.
“We would like to welcome Kelly back to TNT Tropang GIGA. His leadership and experience will help us achieve success in the upcoming conference,” said Team Manager Gabby Cui.
TNT Governor Ricky Vargas added, “Welcome home Kelly, great to have you back. Cheers.”
Williams, the first overall pick of the 2006 PBA Draft, played his last 10 seasons with the Tropang Giga.
Starting his career as a high-flyer, Williams eventually became a defensive anchor especially for TNT, helping the team capture five PBA titles.
Before the PBA restart last season, Williams first announced his retirement.
However, earlier Thursday, he was seen practicing with the Tropang Giga at the Moro Lorenzo Sports Center in Quezon City, giving a hint that he is making a comeback. (PNA)
