Bolick had previously signed a two-year $37,000 a month deal with Fukushima in 2023 but asked for a release to prioritize the health of his wife, Cassandra.
Three years later, Bolick got the bag, after all.
Good for him.
With the new deal that locks in Bolick well into his prime, NLEX won’t have to worry about their star player being recruited by B.League teams when he heads over to Japan with Gilas Pilipinas next month for the Asian Games.
