PBA: Arvin Tolentino’s NorthPort teammates happy with his KBL move
Filipino basketball player Arvin Tolentino has signed with the Korean Basketball League's (KBL) Seoul SK Knights for the 2025-2026 season.
The SK Knights made way for Tolentino by releasing fellow Filipino player Juan Gomez de Liaño.
Tolentino is coming off a career-best conference, where he won Best Player of the Conference in the 2024-2025 PBA Commissioner's Cup, averaging 23.0 points, 7.4 rebounds, 3.9 assists, 1.5 steals, and 1.1 blocks.
His departure creates a significant void for NorthPort, who had previously traded away other key players.
NorthPort teammates, like Joshua Munzon, expressed happiness for Tolentino's move to the KBL, stating he deserves to "make his money" after his strong performance in the PBA.
The Seoul SK Knights recently lost in the KBL Finals to the Changwon LG Sakers, where Filipino import Carl Tamayo plays.
