Mike DiGregorio is on the move again after TNT KaTropa agreed to send the shooting guard to Alaska in exchange for fellow 2015 draftee Simon Enciso.

The PBA Commissioner’s Office on Monday approved the deal that will also see the KaTropa and Aces exchange second round picks for the 2023 draft.

The deal ended DiGregorio’s short stint with TNT that started last October when he was traded by Blackwater for Brian Heruela.

DiGregorio was hardly used during his time with TNT, averaging just 3.4 points in nine games during the recent Governors’ Cup.

He posted 10.8 points for the Elite before being transferred to the KaTropa.

Enciso will play for his third PBA team after spending the last three seasons with the Aces. He averaged 8.9 points during the recent Governors’ Cup campaign.

The trade is seen as a chance for DiGregorio to play a key role under Jeffrey Cariaso, who ended his first conference as Alaska coach with a quarterfinal appearance.

TNT, meanwhile, is banking on Enciso to strengthen its depth at the backcourt position after losing to Meralco in the recent Governors’ Cup semifinals.
