Slaughter recently concluded his campaign with Rizing Zephyr Fukuoka in the Japan B2 League, opening up the chance to play for the Stars during his offseason.
Prior to the MPBL season, the Stars included Slaughter in the roster as a reserve, giving the team the right to field the former PBA player at any time during the MPBL season.
At Manila, Slaughter is set to team up with Al-Hussaini, himself a former Ateneo player during the 2010s.
Recently, Slaughter indicated that he has no plans of returning to the PBA with his incoming stint in the MPBL.
The 7-foot Slaughter had a falling out with NorthPort management after his one-year contract expired in 2022. He last played for the Batang Pier in the PBA after he was traded by Ginebra in exchange for Christian Standhardinger.
Slaughter was drafted first overall by Ginebra in 2013. He won four championships with the Gin Kings until 2020 where he went into a sabbatical the following year.
Slaughter is joining a Manila team that has a 4-3 win-loss record, including a 2-1 mark at home. Carl Bryan Cruz is currently leading the squad in scoring with an average of 15.1 points a game.
