NEEDING to reinforce its frontcourt, Phoenix acquired Jake Pascual from Alaska in exchange for a future draft pick.
The Fuel Masters sent a 2020 second-round pick to the Aces in exchange for the bruising big man from San Beda.
The Office of the Commissioner approved the trade on Tuesday.
Pascual has seen his minutes dwindle this past season while averaging 1.3 points and 1.3 rebounds in just 5.4 minutes this past 2019 PBA Governors' Cup.
The 31-year-old banger can expect more minutes with the Fuel Masters, who are in need of a slotman following the retirement of Doug Kramer.
Pascual will also be reunited with coach Louie Alas and Topex Robinson, deputies back in his time with Alaska, as well as former Alaska teammates Calvin Abueva, RJ Jazul, and Davon Potts.
