Robbie Herndon re-signs with NLEX and will have the chance to help the team redeem itself after wasting a 2x-to-beat edge in the PBA Season 49 PH Cup QF.
Robbie Herndon will remain with NLEX for the PBA’s 50th season.
Herndon inked a one-year extension with the Road Warriors Monday, Aug. 5, the team announced.
Signed as a free agent in 2023, Herndon has continued to be a vital cog for NLEX as he averaged 6.9 points and 2.9 rebounds last season.
The 32-year-old Fil-American is eager to go at it again after the Road Warriors squandered a twice-to-beat advantage in the PBA Season 49 Philippine Cup quarterfinals.

“Last season was painful, especially after we lost our twice-to-beat advantage in the quarterfinals,” Herndon said.
“That feeling still lingers not just for me, but for all my teammates and coaches. It’s a big motivation for us heading into the next conference.”

Herndon is just grateful to get another shot at redemption.
“I’m grateful to NLEX for their vote of confidence,” he said.
“As I told (team governor) Boss Ronald (Dulatre) earlier, I can’t wait to get back to work and be with the guys. I’m thankful for the trust they’ve given me.”
