Wright reminisces as Chua’s mind blown after Phoenix trades Abueva


Just like everyone else, the players of Phoenix Super LPG were stunned after seeing the news of the shock trade of Calvin Abueva to Magnolia.

After all, the 6-foot-3 utility forward was coming off one of the finest outings in his career that saw him average 15.42 points, 11.33 rebounds, 5.17 assists, and 1.67 steals inside the PBA bubble.

Moreover, the Fuel Masters they had last year was something special as it was just one game away from making it to the PBA Finals.

That is why immediately after the trade was announced by the league’s official website, Justin Chua immediately posted an Instagram story that speaks for itself.PBA-Season-46-Phoenix-Magnolia-trade-Justin-Chua Wright reminisces as Chua's mind blown after Phoenix trades Abueva Basketball News PBA  - philippine sports news

Chua flourished playing with Abueva, averaging 11.65 points, 6.65 rebounds, and 1.59 blocks per game that resulted in a Most Improved Player nomination.

Matthew Wright, on the other hand, was more sentimental with his post.

Wright and Abueva created magic in the bubble, with the former averaging 21.12 points, 4.41 rebounds, 5.47 assists, and 1.24 steals per game. Both Abueva and Wright were in the Best Player of the Conference race.

Over on the other side, Marc Pingris, who is already 39 years of age, was seen posting gym workouts on his IG stories.PBA-Season-46-Phoenix-Magnolia-trade-Marc-Pingris Wright reminisces as Chua's mind blown after Phoenix trades Abueva Basketball News PBA  - philippine sports news

By the looks of it, it seems that the Pinoy Sakuragi is getting ready with banging bodies with the Beast on a daily basis in Magnolia.
