Will Navarro joins KBL's Busan KCC Egis

Filipino forward Will Navarro has officially joined the Busan KCC Egis in the Korean Basketball League (KBL).

His move to the KBL comes after a previous attempt was thwarted in 2022 due to commitments with Gilas Pilipinas and the NorthPort Batang Pier.

Navarro is now participating in his new team's training camp in Yongin City, South Korea.

This signing occurs amidst a new PBA resolution that imposes a three-year ban on players who leave their mother PBA clubs for other leagues, even if under contract.

Navarro is expected to be one of the affected players by this new ruling, which is effective immediately.

The 28-year-old forward was the second overall pick in the 2021 PBA special draft.
