菲43歲中鋒陶拉瓦pba球隊續約兩年 - 籃球

ASI Taulava proved he has plenty left in the tank after signing a two-year con
tract extension with NLEX on Monday.

Despite being the oldest player in the PBA right now at 43, the Road Warriors
star slotman has continued to play with a youthful zest, averaging 14.4 points
, 10.8 boards, and 2.1 assists in 31.9 minutes this season.

Taulava posted a photo on Instagram after signing the deal with team manager R
onald Dulatre.

“With the way Asi has been working out and taking care of himself, we’re con
vinced that he will still be competitive for the duration of his contract,” D
ulatre told Spin.ph over the phone.

Asked if Taulava, who would be 45 when his new contract expires, can still pla
y further after his new contract, Dulatre sounded positive.

“It’s up to him, but with his discipline, I think he’s still capable after
that,” Dulatre said of the evergreen Filipino-Tongan big man, who, after his
contact expires, would have eight more years to match the record of Sonny Jawo
rski as the oldest player in the league.

Eric Menk, who turns 42 on Wednesday, and John Ferriols, who will also celebra
te his 42nd birthday next month, complete the Top 3 in the oldest active playe
rs list.

Dulatre said Jonas Villanueva, Mac Baracael, and a few more NLEX players are a
lso up for extension in the next few days
