TNT gets Jordan Heading, Converge receives Mikey Williams
It's official: Jordan Heading is going to TNT, while Mikey Williams will be sent to Converge. The PBA on Monday approved the said trade. Heading has been with Converge since 2024, but has not played in the ongoing PBA Philippine Cup due to a back injury. Heading is expected to help TNT in its Grand Slam bid, especially with Jayson Castro out due to injury. Williams, meanwhile, has not played in the PBA since April 2023 when TNT won the Governors' Cup then. However, he played with the Strong Group Athletics last January in the Dubai International Basketball Championship. Rumors and reports of the said trade surfaced last week as Heading was seen watching a TNT game against Terrafirma last May 28. —JKC, GMA Integrated News

(Photo: PBA) Converge bounced back in the PBA Philippine Cup at the expense of Terrafirma, 117-103, on Wednesday at the Philsports Arena in Pasig. The FiberXers erased an 18-point deficit en route to the victory as they improved to 6-4, while the Dyip fell to 1-8. Converge trailed 61-43 with around five minutes left in the second period before closing out the said frame with a 65-56 disadvantage. By the third period, Converge managed to inch closer, 92-88, before unleashing a late rally to claim the victory. The FiberXers opened the fourth period with an 8-0 run to claim a 96-92 lead. Converge took control of the game and led 104-100 with around five minutes left before they made another 8-0 run to take a 112-100 lead with 1:43 remaining. Aldrech Ramos tried to salvage the run with a triple but Alec Stockton's jumper and King Caralipio's triple sealed the come-from-behind victory. Caralipio waxed hot as he drilled three treys en route to an 18-point outing to go with 10 boards, while Justine Baltazar and Justin Arana both had 17 points, with the former having 10 rebounds, while the latter grabbed 13 rebounds. Schonny Winston added 16 points. Stanley Pringle, meanwhile, had 23 points, while Louie Sangalang added 18 points as the Dyip continued to struggle in the tourney.

Exclusive: Converge raises $22M for concrete sensor
Converge, a concrete sensor and AI startup, has closed $22 million in the second tranche of a Series A round, the company tells Axios. Why it matters: AI-related climate firms are still getting funding as VC investment in the sector cools. Zoom in: A sustainability-focused fund of Dutch bank ABN Amro led the round. Participating investors included Climate Investment, Move Energy, Pi Impact, J-Impact, and existing investors TO Ventures and Force Over Mass Capital. The company plans to use the round to sell more of its sensors and software to builders, as well as continue to develop its AI product, said Converge CEO Raphael Scheps. Scheps says the tech is being used across "thousands of job sites," and hyperscalers have expressed interest in it. How it works: Converge makes a sensor that contractors can embed in concrete pours, which can deliver data about performance, temperature and strength. The sensor data can determine when pours harden, and how concrete is performing under different conditions. The company also has an AI product that can determine what types of concrete mixes would be best for different projects. Converge can help building projects lower carbon emissions from concrete by 20% to 40%, says Scheps. Builders can use Converge's AI to select mixes with less concrete and also test out greener concrete products. Zoom out: The building materials industry is a tricky sector to decarbonize, as construction companies are naturally risk-averse and slow-moving.
