Unfortunately he doesn't have clearance yet as commissioner said he have a contract tied with Nlex so for that Kiefer will have a problem regarding on his arrival on japan. Lets just see if they can settle this discussion once they talk indoor with Ravena and PBA officials.
I do hope to see Ravena playing on Japan and he will face his younger brother on 1 game.
But the news that I've seen is that NLEX is giving a blessing to him to move forward to Japan with his new opportunity so, that probably means that he's fine with his termination contract on NLEX and it's probably going to be NLEX that shall void his contract with him. I don't know the actual process of it but it's usually the one who gave the contract can terminate it any time they wish to do.
May I know the source of it that NLEX allows voiding the contract?
And as to my knowledge, it's not just about Kiefer/NLEX contract. There is also a part of the contract where involves PBA-NLEX-Kiefer. Commissioner Marcial will not just state an official statement about that issue if there's no violation on Kiefer's part.
I don't have a source but usually, when a company or management gives the contract, they're the only one that voids it in any scenario that they want so I'm thinking that they'll do it for Kiefer and there will be no penalties will be given to Kiefer as they've given their support to him moving to Japan. So if NLEX gave a go signal, then he still has to face the PBA management. I don't know the actual process but hopefully both parties will give him the go signal.
