Lucero sticks with Hotshots
The Magnolia Hotshots have signed forward Zavier Lucero to a two-year contract extension, securing his services for the upcoming PBA Season 50 Philippine Cup.
Lucero inked his new deal on Saturday in the presence of new Magnolia head coach LA Tenorio and team manager Alvin Patrimonio.
The athletic forward is expected to provide energy on both ends of the floor for the Hotshots.
Lucero, the No. 5 overall draft pick in Season 48, averaged 14.9 points, 6.9 rebounds, 1.7 assists, and 1.2 blocks in his first season with the team.
His previous performance, including being the league's second-best shot blocker among locals, made him a crucial player for the Hotshots' future success.
The re-signing puts an end to speculations about Lucero potentially playing overseas.
