“First, I want to thank the team management for believing in me and giving me this incredible opportunity. Your support means a lot, and I’m eager to contribute to our success this season,” Malonzo said in a statement on the team’s website.
“I am genuinely excited about what lies ahead, and I can’t wait to hit the court with my teammates, bringing energy and determination to every game. I’m looking forward to building strong connections with all of you, both on and off the court, and helping to elevate the basketball culture in Kyoto.”
In the recently concluded PBA Philippine Cup, Malonzo posted averages of 13.11 points, 6.33 rebounds, 2.17 assists, and 1.17 steals per game.
Malonzo was drafted in 2021 by NorthPort before he was traded to Barangay Ginebra in 2022 where he played until the last conference.
