Pelita Jaya player Jeff Withey warned the Bogor Hornbills to be wary of his team in the first match of the 2026 Indonesian Basketball League (IBL) final at GMSB.
According to him, in the best-of-five final series , Pelita Jaya will go all out to win the championship title that slipped from their grasp last season.
"I think they have to worry about us too, because this team has a few things that can stop them and I think they will, so we just need to put in a lot of energy and play with a strong mentality," Withey said after attending team training at GMSB.
The American said Pelita Jaya had prepared various strategies to counter the Hornbills' strength, especially their three foreign players who have been the driving force of their game throughout the season.
The three players in question are Travin Thibodeaux, Stephaun Branch, and Kaleb Wesson.
