Phoenix trades Ben Adamos to NLEX for Tzaddy Rangel, Reden Celda

PBA

Phoenix Super LPG has shipped big man Ben Adamos to NLEX as the Fuel Masters acquired the rights to another bruiser in Tzaddy Rangel as well as Reden Celda in a trade approved by PBA on Tuesday.

With the move, Adamos will get to reunite with Road Warriors head coach Frankie Lim, who helped him unleash his true potential during his days at the University of Perpetual Help System DALTA in the NCAA.

He will join an NLEX frontcourt led by Gilas Pilipinas member Brandon Ganuelas-Rosser and Michael Miranda. NLEX finished with a quarterfinals appearance in the 2023 Governors Cup, where they collected seven wins and four losses.

Meanwhile, Rangel and Celda will look to boost Phoenix’ roster as they eye to pick up where they left off in the previous conference, where the Fuel Masters wound up eighth before bowing to eventual champion TNT in the quarterfinal round.
