WATCH: Pingris happy to be back with Gilas

MANILA, Philippines -- Star Hotshots forward Marc Pingris admitted that he's happy to be back with Gilas Pilipinas. 

Pingris re-joined the national pool on Wednesday morning in a special session arranged by coach Tab Baldwin at the Gatorade Hoops Gym in Mandaluyong to help fast-track the Star Hotshots big man's learning curve. 

With all the drama of his continued stint with Gilas all behind him now, he is now focused on catching up with the rest of the national pool as far as picking up the new plays that Gilas coach Tab Baldwin has injected in the past three weeks. 

"Happy ako na nakita ko ulit sila dahil na-miss ko rin sila eh," Pingris said after his first practice with the team.
