PBA veteran Calvin “The Beast” Abueva is making headlines after receiving a total fine of ₱24,000 for multiple infractions during Game 4 of Converge's Governors' Cup quarterfinal series against Rain or Shine.
The penalties included ₱20,000 for flashing an obscene gesture toward the opposing team's bench, ₱3,000 for flopping, and ₱1,000 for a technical foul.
Adding to the controversy, the 38 year old forward hinted at retirement during a Facebook livestream on November 11, telling fans they might no longer see him playing next year.
“Magre-retire na po tayo this year,” Abueva said.
Drafted second overall in 2012, Abueva has built a reputation as one of the PBA's most recognizable players, winning a championship with Alaska and earning multiple individual honors.
While his retirement remarks have surprised fans, it remains to be seen whether this season will mark the end of his professional basketball career.
