Kevin Quiambao Set for US Training Camp in Sacramento

Could this be Kevin Quiambao’s stepping stone for his NBA dream?

On June 4, 2025, the decorated basketball phenom confirmed that he is set to fly to the US next week for a hoops training camp to be held in Sacramento.

Although Quiambao said that no standing offers including a possibility of making it to the NBA Summer League is on hand, the 24-year-old UAAP champion and MVP said that hopefully, great things will come out after his time spent in the US.

Quiambao also didn’t disclose the specifics of the training camp, but reports confirmed that he might meet with PBA legend turned NBA coach Jimmy Alapag once he arrives in the US.

Alapag is a current member of the coaching staff of the Sacramento Kings and is getting busier by the week as the NBA Summer League is set to kick off after the NBA Finals.

Despite his off-season in the Korean Basketball League (KBL), Quiambao is continuing to hone his craft, especially after receiving a three-year contract extension with the Goyang Sono Skygunners basketball franchise.

Quiambao joined midway through the KBL season following a UAAP finals loss against the UP Fighting Maroons. The versatile power forward adjusted quickly to the Skygunners’ system and concluded his rookie season with 16.9 points, 6.3 rebounds, and 3.9 assists per game.

However, Goyang Sono failed to qualify for the KBL playoffs with a 19-35 win-loss record, the reason why Quiambao was able to fly home to the Philippines earlier than expected.
