A shocking rumor from Snow Badua suggests that Greg Slaughter is set to make his comeback in the MPBL as part of the returning Cebu-based team. While the details regarding the team’s ownership are still under wraps, the fact that Slaughter is not returning to the PBA is a huge talking point.
At 7 feet tall, Slaughter remains one of the best big men that Philippine basketball has seen in recent years. While he has had his fair share of struggles, his size, experience, and skill set should still make him a valuable asset in the PBA. Yet, instead of hearing about teams trying to sign him, he is seemingly being overlooked, which is disappointing for fans who have followed his career.
With the PBA lacking quality local big men, it's surprising that no team has even explored the possibility of bringing Slaughter back. If this MPBL move pushes through, it will further highlight the PBA’s tendency to waste talents that still have something to give.
While Slaughter’s absence from the PBA is disappointing, his return to Cebu is still an exciting development. Cebu has always been a basketball hotbed, and having a professional team to represent the province again will energize local basketball fans. The last time Cebu had an MPBL team, it created strong regional support, and with Slaughter leading the way, they might become a force in the league.
Greg Slaughter’s rumored MPBL return is bittersweet—it’s great to see him back on the court, but his absence from the PBA is a clear missed opportunity for teams needing size. The bigger picture here, however, is that Cebu’s return to the MPBL is a win for basketball in the Visayas. Now, the question remains: Will Slaughter ever return to the PBA, or is his chapter in the league truly over?
