BREAKING NEWS: Calvin “The Beast” Abueva and Cade Flores Officially Sign with NLEX Road Warriors
In a major shake-up in the Philippine Basketball Association (PBA), the NLEX Road Warriors have made a bold move by officially signing veteran forward Calvin “The Beast” Abueva and rising star Cade Flores. The announcement was made early this morning, sending shockwaves through the league and signaling NLEX’s serious intent to contend in the upcoming season.
Abueva, known for his ferocious energy, physicality, and all-around game, brings a wealth of experience and grit to the NLEX roster. The former Alaska Aces standout, who also made significant impact with the Phoenix Fuel Masters and Magnolia Hotshots, is a proven winner with a reputation for elevating teams with his tenacity. Though his career has had its share of controversies, his undeniable talent and leadership on the court have made him one of the PBA’s most compelling figures.
Joining him is Cade Flores, a promising Fil-Aussie forward who recently caught the attention of fans and coaches with his strong play, hustle, and potential to become a dominant force in the league. Flores has been making steady strides since entering the PBA and is now set to take the next big step in his career alongside a seasoned mentor like Abueva.
NLEX head coach Frankie Lim expressed excitement over the dual acquisition, saying, “Calvin brings heart and experience, while Cade gives us youth and versatility. This is exactly the kind of boost we need to elevate our team’s competitiveness. We’re looking forward to building something special.”
The Road Warriors have been on the hunt for a stronger frontcourt presence and now appear to have found a potent combination of veteran leadership and youthful energy. With a core that already includes Kevin Alas and Sean Anthony, NLEX is assembling a roster that could disrupt the power balance in the league.
PBA insiders suggest this move could spark a series of trades and signings as other teams look to keep pace. For now, the spotlight shines brightly on the Road Warriors, who just made the biggest splash of the offseason.
Fans can expect Abueva and Flores to debut with NLEX in the coming conference, and expectations are already sky-high. With these signings, the Road Warriors are no longer just a mid-tier threat—they’re officially in the championship conversation.
