    Going to the final leg, the Red President are running 10th and qualified to vie in the grand finals.

    "Yung opportunity na makuha siya, yun ang ayaw naming mawala," said Martinez on the team's decision to sign Rivero despite the 3x3 tournament already in its final stage.

    At Blackwater, Ricci will also be reunited with brother Prince Rivero after previously playing together at De La Salle college.

    The stint is going to be the first for Rivero following his aborted bid with the Taoyuan Pilots in the P.League + due to an injury.
