Choco Mucho import Marlee Smith will not see action just yet for the Flying Titans ahead of their official 2025 PVL Reinforced Conference debut against the Cignal Super Spikers on Monday, October 13, at the Smart Araneta Coliseum.

Smith already did not play in the Flying Titans’ straight-sets win against the Capital1 Solar Spikers, which will now be replayed, due to import clearance delays.

According to Choco Mucho management, the American spiker’s papers are still being finalized.

This means that the Dante Alinsunurin-led squad will field in an All-Filipino lineup led by Kat Tolentino, Maddie Madayag, Deanna Wong, and Des Cheng.

The Flying Titans are set to face the Super Spikers at 6:30 p.m.
