JOSHUA Munzon has returned to the Westports Malaysia Dragons for the 2017-2018 Asean Basketball League (ABL) season.
The Fil-American guard replaced Reil Cervantes as the Dragons’ heritage import in a transaction completed during the league’s Christmas break, according to the team's official website.
The 21-year-old Munzon averaged 19 points last season with the Saigon Heat and the Malaysia Dragons and made his biggest mark on defense, setting a single season steals record of 61.
Munzon is expected to make his season debut on Wednesday against Tanduay Alab Pilipinas.
In a previous SPIN.ph interview prior to the ABL season, Munzon was still undecided on whether to stay in the regional basketball league or apply for the PBA D-League draft.
Eventually, Munzon, who also played in the Thailand professional league, decided not to pursue a move to the PBA D-League.
The Dragons currently hold a 1-2 win-loss slate.
