Jimmy Alapag is taking on a new role.
The Filipino basketball legend will now serve under Mike Brown as a player development coach of the Sacramento Kings for the upcoming 2023-24 season.
Alapag announced the news on his social media accounts on Saturday Manila time, calling it "a dream come true."
“Proud to announce I’ll be joining Coach Mike Brown and his staff as a Player Development Coach for the upcoming NBA season,” Alapag said. “Incredibly blessed and thankful for this opportunity.”
Before getting promoted, Alapag served as an assistant coach for Bobby Jackson with the Kings' G League affiliate team, the Stockton Kings. He was also part of the Kings coaching staff that won the Las Vegas Summer League in 2021.
Under Mike Brown, who recently won the Coach of the Year award, the Kings shocked the league last season and finished as the No. 3 seed in the West to make the playoffs for the first time since 2006.
