PBA: Rain or Shine taps Wayne Chism for Commissioner's Cup


The elimination round of the Smart Bro Philippine Cup is far from over, but Rain or Shine is already looking ahead to the second conference as the team signed back its two-time reinforcement Wayne Chism.

Chism, who bagged the Best Import award in last season's Commissioner's Cup, was spotted watching the game between Barangay Ginebra and GlobalPort on Wednesday.

Head coach Yeng Guiao confirmed that the sweet-shooting big man will be coming back for the Elasto Painters after carrying the team to a runner-up finish last year.

"He's very excited to come here," he said. "He's already signed up to play in the second conference so dito na siya all the way."

Guiao said that Chism initially had an offer to play in Europe, but decided to go back for another tour of duty in the PBA after a discussion with the team.

"Ang problema pag naglaro siya sa Europe baka ma-commit siya if their team makes the semis of the finals, baka malate siya makabalik," the coach said.

Guiao also said they want to bring Chism in early to keep him healthy and whip him into shape.

"'Yung danger din pag naglalaro siya sa Europe baka mainjure din," he said. "We're minimizing those risks at the same time makakapractice siya ng maaga kasama namin." - RAF, GMA News
