YOUSEF Taha’s long PBA journey has now taken him to Alaska.
The 6-foot-8 free agent was given a one-year contract by the Aces on Friday in a bid to further shore up their frontcourt for the 46th season of the PBA.
Taha signed the deal in the presence of Alaska team manager Dickie Bachmann, Alaska Sports Development and Public Relations Manager CK Kanapi-Daniolco, and his agent Marvin Espiritu.
Taha has been practicing with the Aces’ group workouts the past few weeks, his patience and hard work finally convincing the Alaska coaching staff led by Jeff Cariaso to give the 32-year-old big man a slot in its roster.
