Terrafirma’s Jerrick Ahanmisi named PBA Player of the Week for March 11 to 15

The Terrafirma Dyip have made an electrifying start to the 2026 Philippine Basketball Association Commissioner’s Cup, opening the conference with back-to-back victories that have set a confident tone for the franchise.

The Dyip began their campaign with a decisive win over the Titan Ultra Giant Risers before following it up with a hard-fought triumph against the Converge FiberXers. At the heart of this strong start has been the stellar play of Filipino-Nigerian guard Jerrick Ahanmisi, whose consistent performances have given the team both offensive firepower and defensive intensity.

Ahanmisi’s contributions were instrumental in Terrafirma recording their first 2-0 start in a PBA conference since the 2024 Philippine Cup—the last time the team advanced to the playoffs. Over the two games, the 28-year-old guard posted averages of 20.0 points, 1.5 rebounds, 6.0 assists, and 2.5 steals per outing. These standout performances earned him the first PBA Player of the Week award for the 2026 Commissioner’s Cup, covering the period from March 11 to 15.

The award, which recognizes the league’s top performer as voted by journalists covering the PBA across broadsheets, tabloids, and online media, saw Ahanmisi edge out notable competitors including Robert Bolick of the NLEX Road Warriors and the Ricci Rivero–Evan Nelle duo from the Phoenix Fuel Masters.

“I think the team has shown a lot of chemistry, but the coaches keep stressing to have fun with the game,” Ahanmisi said, reflecting on both his individual output and the squad’s overall performance. His focus on teamwork and enjoyment highlights a balanced approach that has clearly translated into early success.

The shooting guard has also made headlines beyond the regular season, recently becoming the first player in PBA history to win two skills events at the All-Star Weekend in Candon, Ilocos Sur. Ahanmisi took home both the Obstacle Challenge and the Three-Point Shootout, further cementing his reputation as one of the league’s most versatile and dynamic players.

With Terrafirma off to a perfect 2-0 start, Ahanmisi’s leadership and scoring prowess will be key as the team looks to maintain momentum and chase a deep playoff run in the Commissioner’s Cup. If his early-season form is any indication, the Dyip may be poised for a breakthrough conference, with fans eager to see whether Ahanmisi can sustain this level of performance throughout the season.
