A few weeks back, the Alaska Aces announced that they would no longer exist in the Philippine Basketball Association (PBA) after the 2021-22 Governor’s Cup; however, Converge ICT Solutions, a popular internet provider in the Philippines, has announced that they are taking over the franchise.
Last week, in a press conference, PBA Commissioner Willie Marcial announced the new ownership after a unanimous 11-0 vote by the board of commissioners. Marcial also announced that former PBA commissioner Chito Salud would lead the franchise as its governor.
In a statement released by the team, Salud said, “we are excited to begin building a track record and legacy of competitiveness, innovation, character, discipline, and sportsmanship worthy of support and respect from PBA fans.” Salud went on to say that the team will hold a press conference on April 5th to introduce the new group formally.
The Alaskan Aces were in the league for 35 years before bowing out after losing to NLEX in the quarterfinal series of the 2022 PBA Governor’s Cup.
