Ebona was joined by his representative Danny Espiritu during the signing of the contract in the presence of TNT team manager Jojo Lastimosa.
The TNT official said the Tropang Giga were just fortunate after picking up the 27-year-old Ebona as a free agent.
The no. 4 overall pick in the 2019 draft, Ebona was left unsigned by Converge when his previous contract expired at the end of 2023.
TNT will be the fourth team for Ebona after Alaska, Blackwater, and Converge.
He should come in handy for a TNT side who's lacking a huge hole in the middle with injuries to big man Poy Erram and Justin Chua.
