The Converge FiberXers might have bowed out in the 2024-25 PBA Commissioner’s Cup quarterfinals, but let’s be real—they’re playing the long game.
Their 8-4 record proves they’re no pushover, and while some might say they tanked to get their guy last season, it’s hard to argue with the results. Backed by the powerhouse minds behind Strong Group Athletics (coaching staff) and the Pampanga Giant Lanterns (Delta Pineda,) Converge is redefining what it means to be an independent team.
They landed Justine Baltazar, adding another elite big man to pair with Justin Arana—a “good problem” every team wishes they had. Their import, Cheick Diallo, brought his NBA experience to the table, and somehow, they even managed to land Jordan Heading, a longtime holdout from the PBA. Alongside Alec Stockton, their backcourt now has serious firepower to match their dominant frontcourt.
Sure, they fell short against Rain or Shine and missed out on the semis, but make no mistake—the future is now for the Converge FiberXers. Let’s take a deeper look at their season stats and what’s ahead for this rising squad.
