Calvin Abueva appears ready to call it a career after revealing his plans to retire from the PBA soon.

During a Facebook Live session on Wednesday, the 38-year-old Abueva revealed that he is looking to retire from the PBA "this year" and urged his fans to make the most of his remaining games with Converge.

"Sa mga fans ko, next year, hindi na tayo magkikita. Kaya enjoy-in niyo na," Abueva said during the nine-minute live session.

Drafted second overall in 2012, Abueva has made a name for himself in the PBA. He won his lone championship so far with the now-defunct Alaska franchise in 2013, claimed two Best Player of the Conference awards, and earned 10 PBA All-Star selections.

However, the former NCAA star has also been involved in several controversies, including an indefinite suspension in June 2019 following separate incidents involving then-TNT import Terrence Jones and Ray Parks' former partner.

Most recently, Abueva was ejected during Converge's Game 4 clash against Rain or Shine in their semifinals series.

If his retirement plans push through, Abueva could still have a chance to go out on a high note by winning one last PBA championship.

Converge advanced to the semifinals for the first time in franchise history after ousting the Elasto Painters. The FiberXers will now face top-seeded NLEX for a spot in the finals.
