Mac Cardona leaves San Juan Knights due to ‘personal reasons’


San Juan-Go for Gold will not have one of its leaders moving forward in the 2019-20 Chooks-to-Go/MPBL Lakan Season.

The Knights announced on Wednesday morning that veteran swingman Mac Cardona has decided to leave the team. The embattled star cited “personal reasons” as the cause for his sudden decision to resign from the squad.

“As we start the year 2020, the San Juan Knights-Go for Gold will move forward without one of our veteran presence in Macmac,” the team’s statement read.

“He resigned from the team due to personal reasons.”

The 38-year-old product of La Salle played in 20 games this season, averaging 7.6 points, 2.8 rebounds, and 1.7 assists in 15.3 minutes of game time.

Cardona was instrumental during San Juan’s conquest of the 2018-19 Datu Season.

The former PBA pro was also part of the San Juan team that finished in third place during the Chooks-to-Go Pilipinas 3×3 President’s Cup.

Up next for the Knights are the Pasig-Sta. Lucia Realtors on January 11 at the Filoil Flying V Centre.
