“Yōkoso Risa-san! To our newest addition to our growing family, welcome! Your skills and energy are a game-changer and we can’t wait to have you on the court with us,” Chery Tiggo said in a social media post.
With Sato being released from her contract prior to the new conference, she is immediately eligible to play for her new team, which will go against Petro Gazz, another formidable team, on Tuesday, January 21.
Sato is anticipated to significantly strengthen Chery Tiggo's veteran-heavy frontline featuring Aby Maraño, Pauline Gaston, Cza Carandang, and recuperating youngster Imee Hernandez.
Chery Tiggo is currently at solo fourth with a 4-2 record in the team standings.
