Larry Muyang is stepping back onto the court, this time with a renewed drive and a fresh opportunity. After being away from the PBA for a while, the former Letran Knights standout has been seen practicing with the Converge FiberXers, signaling a potential return to the professional ranks.
Once a highly-regarded big man in the NCAA, Muyang made headlines in 2019 when he played a key role in Letran’s championship run. His strong presence inside the paint, combined with his rebounding and physical play, made him a standout. He eventually entered the PBA Draft in 2021 and was selected by Phoenix Super LPG. However, his pro career faced challenges early on — limited minutes, injuries, and time away from competition stalled his progress.
Now at 27, Muyang seems determined to restart his journey.
By joining Converge in their preseason training sessions, he’s making a strong statement: he’s not done yet. This isn’t just about shaking off rust — it’s about earning another shot, proving he still has what it takes to compete in the country’s top basketball league.
The FiberXers could be a good match for him. As a team still building its identity, Converge has leaned on its youth and pace. But with that comes the need for balance — a dependable big man who can hold his own inside, grab rebounds, and set solid screens. Muyang fits that mold, and if he performs well in camp, he might just land a spot on the roster.
Right now, nothing is guaranteed. He hasn’t officially signed with the team, but his presence alone shows that he’s willing to put in the work and earn his place.
It’s a classic comeback story — a player who’s had a taste of the big league, stumbled along the way, and is now climbing back. For fans who remember his dominance in college, seeing him back on the court is a welcome sight. And for Muyang, this preseason could be the first step toward reviving a career that still has a lot of potential left.
Whether he suits up for Converge when the season starts or uses this as a stepping stone to another team, one thing is clear: Larry Muyang is not finished. He’s fighting for his second wind, and this preseason might just be the beginning of his return.
