NorthPort will remain intact for the upcoming 46th season of the PBA.

The Batang Pier extended the contracts of their guards Nico Elorde and Paolo Taha, Tuesday morning at NorthPort’s training facility in Green Meadows in Quezon City.

Though the financials were not disclosed, the two both signed one-year extensions.
