Six years, four championships, a lifetime of experiences and memories. It’s been a fun ride being with this team. I will forever be proud to have played for Ginebra, a dream of mine that came true when they drafted me in 2013. With that, now that my contract has expired, I’ve decided to take a break to be able to work on myself in all aspects. I may not know what the future holds, but one thing is for sure, the best is yet to come! Thank you first and foremost to SMC and Boss RSA, and the rest of the management, Coach Tim and coaching staff, my teammates, and the entire Ginebra community. To the best fans in the world - I can’t thank you enough for all the support you have shown me throughout the years. I will forever be grateful! #NSD

Slaughter has been with Ginebra for six years and won four championships with the team.

"Six years, four championships, a lifetime of experiences and memories. It’s been a fun ride being with this team. I will forever be proud to have played for Ginebra, a dream of mine that came true when they drafted me in 2013," he added.

He may be taking a break but the former Ateneo tower said, "I may not know what the future holds, but one thing is for sure, the best is yet to come!"

Aside from being a four-time champ, Slaughter was also named Best Player of the Conference in the 2017 PBA Governors' Cup. He was also part of the Gilas team which bagged the gold medal in the 2019 Southeast Asian Games. — MDM, GMA News
