MATT Salem is making the move from Terrafirma to Platinum Karaoke ahead of the second conference of the PBA 3x3 season.
The sweet-shooting guard from National University will try to help change the fortunes of the Platinum franchise once the half-court league returns on Feb. 19.
Salem stands out
Salem finished fifth in scoring in the first conference after dropping a total of 215 points, including a leg-high 32 points in the five games he played in the Grand Finals.
His scoring outbursts were key in steering Terrafirma 3x3 to a pair of third-place finishes, as well as placing fourth in the Grand Finals.
Salem will replace Karl Dehesa, who has since left for the United States.
Platinum is determined to put up a better showing in the second conference as the pre-tournament favorites failed to nab a single crown, with its closest being runner-up finishes in the second leg and the Grand Finals.
The team has retained its key players led by Chris de Chavez, Ryan Monteclaro, JR Alabanza, and Yutien Andrada.
