He signed a two-year, Php 4.5 million rookie contract to play for the Mixers.[6] While playing for San Mig, he provided quality minutes off-the-bench, and was the key contributor in their bid to win the 2013–14 PBA Philippine Cup championship.[7]

After a decent performance during his rookie season and winning the grandslam for San Mig (now re-christened as Purefoods Star) many expected him to play more minutes for his team. However, during their season opening game against Alaska on October 22, 2014, he suffered an ACL tear, his first major injury in his career, after he landed badly while fighting for the rebound.[8] An MRI scan confirmed that he has sustained a partial tear on the anterior cruciate ligament and meniscus on his right knee that sidelined him for up to five to eight months.[9][clarification needed] Despite being sidelined by injury for the entire 2014–15 season, he signed a three-year Php 15 Million new contract with Star during the offseason.[10] He has since returned to action for the Hotshots.
