Former Gilas Pilipinas captain Jimmy Alapag is set to join the coaching staff of the NBA team Sacramento Kings.

The "Mighty Mouse" will take on the role of a player development coach under the guidance of Coach Mike Brown for the upcoming NBA season.

The former PBA player expressed his excitement on social media, calling it a dream come true to be part of the Kings' coaching staff.

"A DREAM COME TRUE... Proud to announce I'll be joining Coach Mike Brown and his staff as a Player Development Coach for the upcoming NBA season," said Alapag.

The team is coming off their best season in recent memory, securing their first postseason berth since 2006 and ending the longest playoff drought in NBA history.

The journey to this coaching opportunity has been a testament to Alapag's dedication and skill. He has honed his coaching expertise with the national team, Meralco Bolts, and Alab Pilipinas.

He first joined the Kings' coaching staff during the Summer League in 2019 and later became an assistant for the Stockton Kings that won the championship in the 2021 G-League.
