Basta ako, right now, I’m working as hard as I can.”“Super positive ako. All for gain naman eh, nothing to lose ako. If ever walang makuhang opportunity, balik ako sa Korea,” he added.Despite dealing with an ankle injury in his first year in Korea, the two-time UAAP MVP still noted 16.9 points, 6.3 rebounds, 3.9 assists, and 1.3 steals in 23 games for Goyang Sono in the 2024-25 season.And for Quiambao, if things don&#x27;t pan out in the US, he will be making the most of finally playing a whole season with his KBL squad in their 2025-26 campaign later this year.“Bitin,” he lamented. “23 games lang yung nilaro ako, so excited ako na merong buo [next season].”Quiambao is expected to be one of the Skygunners’ main weapons moving forward, especially since he impressed despite seeing limited action due to the aforementioned injury.He even had a 31-point, 11-rebound game in their win vs. Wonju Dongbu Promy last March 1, and this was after his stellar 12-point, 18-assist performance on top of eight rebounds in another victory last February 26 against Jeonju KCC Egis.
