Forth Padrigao won't be around when the Ateneo de Manila University Blue Eagles defend their UAAP men's basketball title in Season 86 later this year.
In a statement by Ateneo on Saturday, July 22, Padrigao couldn't play due to failure to meet the school's academic requirements.
“Forthsky Padrigao was unable to meet Ateneo de Manila University's academic requirements in SY 2022-2023, and therefore he is not eligible to play in the upcoming UAAP Season 86,” wrote Ateneo.
“He will use the time off the court to focus on his academics. We hope to see him back on the court once he fulfills his responsibilities as an Ateneo student.”
Padrigao, 21, had himself a stellar sophomore stint in Season 85 last year, helping Ateneo exact revenge on UP in the finals.
A member of the Mythical Team, the 5-foot-11 Padrigao registered 11.61 points, 4.94 assists, 4.22 rebounds, and 2.22 steals.
