Carl Tamayo has renewed his contract with the Changwon LG Sakers in the Korean Basketball League (KBL), looking to bounce back from their recent semifinals exit. After a disappointing playoff performance, where they were swept by the Goyang Sono Skygunners, Tamayo remains optimistic about the team's chances for the next season. He expressed his excitement during the Dayo23 event in Tondo, Manila, stating, "We fell short, but I think we have a greater chance next season. I hope we bounce back." Tamayo was instrumental in Changwon's previous title run, and his confidence reflects a determination to achieve success in the upcoming season. Notably, the recent KBL playoffs showcased the increasing presence of Filipino players, with all six competing teams featuring at least one Filipino athlete, including Arvin Tolentino and Rhenz Abando. Tamayo hopes this trend continues to grow, contributing to the international success of Filipino basketball players.
