At 36 years old, Justin Chua has found a new lease on his PBA career.
TNT has signed the 6-foot-6 stretch big man, officially adding him to the Tropang 5G’s roster on Thursday.
As part of the move, Kelly Williams has been placed on TNT’s unrestricted free agent list with rights to salary.
Chua last appeared in the PBA during the 2025 Philippine Cup, playing for Blackwater. He missed the past two conferences with the Bossing.

Interestingly, Chua was traded by TNT to Blackwater in February 2024 in a deal that also involved NLEX.
The Ateneo product was also called up by Norman Black to the Gilas Men lineup for the 33rd Southeast Asian Games in Thailand.
This marks Chua’s third stint with TNT, having previously played for the team in 2017 before being traded to Phoenix.
TNT will make its PBA Season 50 Commissioner’s Cup debut on Friday against Rain or Shine at the Smart Araneta Coliseum.
