Michael Kurtiz Baldo Williams (born October 27, 1991) is a Filipino-American professional basketball player who last played for the TNT Tropang Giga of the Philippine Basketball Association (PBA).[1][2]
Collegiate career
[edit] In his senior year at Cal State Fullerton, he scored a collegiate high of 29 points to go along with 6 rebounds in a losing effort to UCSB Gauchos.[3]
Professional career
[edit] After he became undrafted in 2014 NBA draft, Williams played for Sioux Falls Skyforce in NBA G League from 2014 to 2016, and in Canton Charge from 2016 to 2017.[4]
He also played as a heritage import for Saigon Heat in ASEAN Basketball League from 2017 to 2018. He then played for the GenSan Warriors of Maharlika Pilipinas Basketball League from 2018 to 2019, wherein he averaged 15.9 points, 6.6 assists, 5.1 rebounds, and 1.1 steals per game.[1]
TNT Tropang Giga (2021–2023)
[edit] Williams made a PBA finals record 10 three-pointers in a 98–106 loss to the Magnolia Hotshots in Game 3 of the 2021 PBA Philippine Cup finals.[5]
Williams would miss almost half of the 2022 Philippine Cup amidst months-long negotiations regarding his contract. Williams would later sign a three-year extension with TNT.[6]
However, Williams stopped showing up for games since the 2023 Governors' Cup. In November 2023, TNT terminated its contract with Williams although retaining his rights, meaning he cannot transfer to another PBA team without TNT releasing him.[7]
On June 2, 2025, Williams' rights were acquired by the Converge FiberXers from the TNT in exchange for Jordan Heading.[8]
