PBA: Kemark Cariño heads to Barangay Ginebra, Terrafirma gets Ben Adamos

Kemark Cariño is headed to Barangay Ginebra San Miguel, while Ben Adamos moves to Terrafirma Dyip in a one-on-one trade announced by the Philippine Basketball Association on Friday.

Cariño, a 6-foot-8 big man, was selected by Terrafirma in the 2023 PBA Draft. In 2024, he earned spots on the PBA All-Defensive Team and the All-Rookie Team.

He also had a brief stint in Japan, suiting up for Aomori Wat's in the B.League.

However, Cariño is set to return from the ACL injury he sustained last year.

Meanwhile, Adamos was drafted in 2021 by the Alaska Aces. He later had stints with Converge, Phoenix, and NorthPort before landing with Barangay Ginebra.
