MANILA, Philippines—Geo Chiu will continue his professional basketball career overseas.

Chiu suited up for the Mustangs in May in the 2024 Asian Tournament, where the stocky big man posted six points and seven rebounds in an 83-78 win over the Zamboanga Valientes.
Before deciding to turn pro, the 6-foot-10 Chiu played for the Ateneo Blue Eagles in the UAAP.
In what turned out to be his final year with the Blue Eagles in Season 86, Chiu averaged 1.4 points and 2.3 rebounds per game.
Chiu will try to help the Orange Vikings improve from an abysmal 23-37 card in the B2 last season.
