Kiefer Ravena scored 29 points to lead Ateneo to victory over La Salle . KC Cruz
Even the vaunted Ateneo-La Salle rivalry couldn't stop Kiefer Ravena from being a man for others.
Shortly after scoring a career-high 29 points on Sunday against the Green Archers, the Blue Eagles' star shooting guard quickly took to Twitter to voice out a message of support for La Salle guard Thomas Torres, who was injured in the game.
Wishing @iamthomastorres a speedy and healthy recovery. Nothing worse than a co-athlete getting injured.

According to a report by Reuben Terrado of Spin.ph, Torres is expected by La Salle coach Juno Sauler to be out for six weeks because of a fractured toe in his right foot.
Torres' absence was another blow for the defending UAAP champions, who opened the season with two straight defeats.
Meanwhile, Ravena was named the UAAP Player of the Week after his scintillating performance against La Salle.
He brandished his improved range against the Green Archers, making 5-of-7 from beyond the arc, including four three-pointers in the fourth quarter, where he scored 14 points to lead Ateneo. — JST, GMA News
