Carl Tamayo is headed to Korea.

The 23-year-old Cebuano played a total of 39 games in two years with the Kings.

Before parting ways with Ryukyu early this year, Tamayo averaged 3.87 points and 2.48 rebounds per game.

The Golden Kings ended up terminating the remaining 1.5 years of their contract with Tamayo after signing naturalized Japanese player Alex Kirk.

The Golden Kings finished as runners-up in the recently concluded 2023-24 B.League season.
