Magnolia acquires Chris Koon in trade for Aris Dionisio


The youth movement in Magnolia continues.

The Hotshots have traded Aris Dionisio to the Titan Ultra Giant Risers in exchange for promising young winger Chris Koon.

The PBA approved the deal on Tuesday.

Koon, the fourth overall pick in the 2025 PBA Draft, is coming off a stellar collegiate career with the Ateneo de Manila University Blue Eagles.

In five games this season, he has averaged 7.6 points and 4.0 rebounds per outing, though the Giant Risers currently hold a 1-4 record.

Magnolia, meanwhile, parted ways with Dionisio, whom the team selected ninth overall in the 2019 PBA Draft.

The one-time All-Star has appeared in only three games so far this conference.

Koon is expected to make his Magnolia debut on Friday against Phoenix.
