CDO cager Rey Nambatac inks 3-year maximum contract extension with Rain or Shine Elasto Painters

DAVAO CITY---The Rain or Shine Elasto Painters has signed to a new maximum three-year-deal young guard Rey "Sting Ray" Nambatac after his previous contract ended.

The new lucrative deal will give Nambatac  P420,000 a month from the Elastopainters.

Nambatac, drafted by the Elastopainters in 2017, averaged 11.3 points, 4.1 rebounds, and 1.9 assists in the 2021 Philippine Cup, second in scoring behind Javee Mocon.

The Elasto Painters decided to give the former Letran star a new contract because he is not afraid to take the big shots for the team over the years. 

Nambatac is very happy with his new deal and he vowed to do his best to repay the trust of his team.

Sources said one reason why the Elasto Painters decided to give Nambatac a maximum deal is that they are afraid he might be lured to play in the Japanese basketball league, which has become a trend among pro and amateur basketball players late. (Romeo Braceros Jr.)
