Arvin Tolentino signs with Seoul SK Knights
Arvin Tolentino, a two-time PBA champion with Barangay Ginebra, has signed with the Seoul SK Knights in the Korean Basketball League after his contract with NorthPort expired on April 30.
Tolentino's departure from NorthPort was marked by a crushing defeat against TNT in the PBA Philippine Cup, where teammate Joshua Munzon expressed happiness for Tolentino's success and move to Korea.
Seoul SK Knights released Juan Gomez de Liano to make way for Tolentino under the Asian Quota import restrictions, while Migs Oczon also confirmed his re-signing with Ulsan Hyundai Mobis Phoebus in another Korean basketball team.
NorthPort faces a significant void in its forward rotation following not only Tolentino's departure but also the trade of Will Navarro to Magnolia earlier this year.
The Batang Pier has dropped to a 1-7 record in the all-Filipino conference after losing key players and facing major lineup changes.
