On Twitter, Ravena's mother Mozzy thanked the Shiga organization "for taking good care of Kiefer."

Ravena's fans also flooded Twitter with the hashtag #KieferXXVIII to send their birthday greetings to the former Ateneo de Manila University star.

The Lakestars host the Brave Thunders at the Ukaruchan Arena Wednesday night, looking to improve on their 6-2 win-loss record.

Ravena is averaging 11.0 points, 2.4 rebounds, 5.3 assists, and 2.0 steals per game for the Lakestars so far in his first season with the team.
