Abando highest-paid import in Korea league
Rhenz Abando will get around 237 million won or P13.89 million in his first season with Anyang KGC Ginseng Corporation in the Korean Basketball League, the highest amount that will be paid by a club team to an Asian import.
The deal involving the former National Collegiate Athletic Association’s Most Valuable Player from the Letran Knights has exceeded the league’s salary cap, according to reports from Korea.
Abando got this agreement with team executives months after he decided to forgo his final year in college.
The league considers this as the highest amount offered to any import or registered Asian Quarter player.
