The Converge FiberXers are a professional basketball team owned by Converge ICT. The team competes in the Philippine Basketball Association (PBA). The franchise began after acquiring the former Alaska Aces franchise on March 23, 2022.
History
On February 16, 2022, Alaska Milk Corporation (AMC) announced that the Alaska Aces would leave the PBA at the end of the 2021 Governors' Cup. This was due to a directive by FrieslandCampina, parent company of AMC.
Several companies expressed interest to buy the Aces or its franchise. The prospect company could retain the Alaska Aces team if they bought the franchise within the ongoing season. In the event the franchise is not sold within the ongoing season, the PBA would place the players in a dispersal draft.
On March 23, the PBA announced the sale of the Alaska Aces to Converge ICT. The sale was unanimously approved by the PBA Board of Governors. Smart Communications, the owner of TNT Tropang Giga and a business competitor of Converge, was noted for not blocking Converge's entry into the PBA. Former PBA commissioner Chito Salud serves as the board governor of the new team. On April 2, the team announced that Jeffrey Cariaso, who was the last head coach of the former Aces team prior to the sale of the franchise, was retained as head coach.
On April 5, Converge ICT formally unveiled their team under the name Converge FiberXers. It was also announced that the assistant coaches of the former Alaska team were retained. Erstwhile Alaska Aces board governor and team manager Richard Bachmann served as the assistant team manager of the FiberXers.
In August 2022, Cariaso was released as the head coach of the team and was replaced by Aldin Ayo.
Los FiberXers fueron fundados en 2015 como el equipo de expansión de la PBA. El equipo fue propiedad de Converge ICT Solutions, Inc., una empresa de telecomunicaciones filipina. Converge nombró al ex entrenador de la selección nacional de Filipinas, Tim Cone, como el primer entrenador del equipo.
En su primera temporada, los FiberXers terminaron con un récord de 16-18, quedando en octavo lugar en la temporada regular. El equipo no pudo llegar a los playoffs. En la temporada siguiente, los FiberXers mejoraron su récord a 21-13, terminando en sexto lugar en la temporada regular. El equipo llegó a los playoffs, pero fue eliminado en la primera ronda por los San Miguel Beermen.
En la temporada 2018-19, los FiberXers terminaron con un récord de 24-10, terminando en segundo lugar en la temporada regular. El equipo llegó a las Finales de la PBA, pero fue derrotado por los San Miguel Beermen en cinco partidos. En la temporada 2019-20, los FiberXers terminaron con un récord de 20-14, terminando en sexto lugar en la temporada regular. El equipo llegó a los playoffs, pero fue eliminado en la primera ronda por los Meralco Bolts.
Los FiberXers son uno de los equipos más jóvenes de la PBA. El equipo tiene una plantilla de jugadores talentosos, incluyendo al base Stanley Pringle, al escolta Jeron Teng y al ala-pívot Christian Standhardinger. Los FiberXers son un equipo en ascenso y se espera que sean un contendiente al campeonato en los próximos años.
