Although the 16-month ban stalled him from joining the 5,000-point club earlier, Calvin Abueva says his time away from the PBA allowed him to work on himself.
The 16-month ban kept Abueva out for nearly three conferences and also stalled his progress from reaching the scoring milestone.
The PBA cracked the whip on Abueva in June 2019 for figuring in a verbal spat with a fan and for clotheslining former TNT import Terrence Jones in back-to-back games., allowing Abueva to reunite with his former team Phoenix in the middle of the 2020 Philippine Cup. At 35, Abueva remains one of the Hotshots’ top performers, averaging 14.2 points, 9.4 rebounds, 3.2 assists, 1 block, and 1 steal this conference.
