College career

He played his college ball at San Sebastian College - Recoletos de Manila where he teamed up with Calvin Abueva and Ronald Pascual. They were known as the "Pinatubo Trio".[3] They led the Stags to win the NCAA Season 85 men's basketball championship.

He also took his talents in the PBA D-League, suiting up for the NLEX Road Warriors, which featured the same Pinatubo Trio of himself, Abueva and Pascual. Together, they won the 2011 PBA D-League Foundation Cup.[4] He also played for the EA Regen Med Regens in the D-League.

He decided to skip his last year with the Stags in the NCAA. He also cut short his last PBA D-League season after winning the MVP trophy.[5]

Professional career

He signed a two-year, Php 4.5 million rookie contract to play for the Mixers.[6] While playing for San Mig, he provided quality minutes off-the-bench, and was the key contributor in their bid to win the 2013–14 PBA Philippine Cup championship.[7]

After a decent performance during his rookie season and winning the grandslam for San Mig (now re-christened as Purefoods Star) many expected him to play more minutes for his team. However, during their season opening game against Alaska on October 22, 2014, he suffered an ACL tear, his first major injury in his career, after he landed badly while fighting for the rebound.[8] An MRI scan confirmed that he has sustained a partial tear on the ACL (arterior cruciate ligament) and meniscus (MCL) on his right knee that sidelined him for up to five to eight months.[9] Despite being sidelined by injury for the entire 2014-15 season, he signed a three-year Php 15 Million new contract with Star during the offseason.[10] He has since returned to action for the Hotshots.
