Thompson return big backcourt boost

(UPDATE) A BIG boost for Gilas Pilipinas in the backcourt is the return of Barangay Ginebra standout Scottie Thompson, who was cleared to join the team's closed-door practice late last week.

The 30-year-old reigning PBA Most Valuable Player was out of the loop for about a month after suffering a metacarpal fracture on his shooting hand during the tailend of Gilas' training camp in Kaunas, Lithuania.
