Christian Standhardinger says his current 'live' contract in Hong Kong is the reason for his absence in the PBA Draft Combine

MANILA, Philippines – Gilas standout Christian Standhardinger cleared the air about his eligibility for the 2017 PBA Draft after reports surfaced that his absence at the Draft Combine Monday, October 23, could disqualify him. 

Standhardinger, who is the consensus top pick this year, was the only player among the 44 candidates who was absent in the Draft Combine where players participate in drills and scrimmages before PBA coaches and scouts. 

On his Twitter account @CStandhardinger, the Filipino-German said that he cannot come to the Combine since he is under contract with the Hong Kong team that participates in the ASEAN Basketball League. 

“Hi guys, everything is good! It is understood that I am officially under contract in Hong Kong, so I could not be at the PBA Draft Combine,” Standhardinger tweeted. 

 


“My agent has already informed PBA officials in advance. Looking forward to seeing you all at Draft Day!” he added. 

 


The PBA Draft is on Sunday, October 29, at the Robinsons Place Manila. – Rappler.com
