Abu Tratter's Basketball Journey
Starting His Pro Career
Abu Tratter began his professional basketball journey in 2018. He was chosen as the seventh player overall in the 2018 PBA draft. This is like a special event where professional teams pick new players. Abu was drafted by the NLEX Road Warriors team.
Moving to New Teams
After playing for the NLEX Road Warriors, Abu Tratter moved to different teams. On September 6, 2019, he was traded to the Alaska Aces. A trade in basketball means players switch teams.
Later, on June 15, 2022, Abu signed a contract with the Converge FiberXers. This was a new team that took over from the Alaska Aces.
More Team Changes
Abu Tratter continued to move between teams. On April 14, 2023, he and another player, David Murrell, were traded. They went to the Magnolia Chicken Timplados Hotshots. In return, the Converge FiberXers received Adrian Wong and a special pick for future players.
Most recently, on April 23, 2025, Abu Tratter was traded again. This time, he moved from the NorthPort Batang Pier team to the Blackwater Bossing. This trade was special because it meant Abu reunited with the very first team he played for in the PBA.
