UAAP: Mike Phillips will return for final season with La Salle
Mike Phillips has announced his decision to play his final UAAP season with the De La Salle University Green Archers.
Phillips expressed his gratitude to La Salle, stating that the institution has been his backbone and that he is committed to playing every game next year.
During the recently concluded Season 87 finals, the 6-foot-8 Phillips was a key player for the Green Archers, consistently delivering double-doubles in points and rebounds.
He averaged team-highs of 17.6 points and 11.6 rebounds in the finals series, despite La Salle's ultimate loss to the UP Fighting Maroons in Game 3.
Phillips had a challenging performance from the free-throw line in the deciding game and fouled out with 11 seconds remaining.
With the departure of Kevin Quiambao to play professionally in Korea, Phillips is anticipated to be a leader for La Salle in their pursuit of a championship in Season 88.
He will be joined by new transferees Mason Amos, Kean Baclaan, and Jacob Cortez in the upcoming season.
