Allein Gail Q. Maliksi (born September 18, 1987) is a Filipino professional basketball player for the Meralco Bolts of the Philippine Basketball Association (PBA). He was drafted 8th by the Petron Blaze Boosters in the 2011 PBA draft.
Maliksi first played for University of Manila. He then played for the UST Growling Tigers after undergoing residency for a year. However before making his official debut, he tore his ACL in a tuneup game. The recovery process took five months, but he then re-tore his ACL in practice. This time, the recovery lasted eight months. He was only able to play one full season in the UAAP. [1]
Maliksi played with the Cebuana Lhuillier Gems in the PBA D-League. He became the D-League’s first-ever MVP in the 2011 Foundation Cup where he led the Gems to the finals before losing to the NLEX Road Warriors. [1]
On August 28, 2011, Maliksi was drafted eight overall in the 2011 PBA draft by the Petron Blaze Boosters, but was traded on draft day to the Barako Bull Energy. [2] He was given a two-year deal.
In November 2011, just around three months after being drafted, Maliksi was traded by Barako Bull to Barangay Ginebra Kings in a three-team trade that also involved B-Meg Llamados. [3]
On January 22, 2013, Maliksi was traded by Ginebra back to Barako Bull in a five-team, ten-player trade. [4] [5] [6]
On August 16, 2013, the PBA approved a trade that sent him to the Star Hotshots in exchange of a 2017 second round pick, Wesley Gonzales and Chris Pacana. [7] On September 27, 2013, in a do-or-die quarterfinals matchup against the Alaska Aces, he suffered a partial ACL tear that would sideline him for 6 months. [8]
In the Philippine Cup, Maliksi averaged 7.7 minutes a game. [9] He posted on Instagram a t-shirt that said "play me or trade me". He apologized to head coach Jason Webb and to Star's management and was suspended indefinitely for four months. [9]
During the 2016 Commissioner's Cup, Maliksi scored 29 points, his career-high at the time, along with six rebounds in a win over TNT. He did it by making all six of his triples, tying the most triples made in a PBA game without a miss. [9]
Following the departure of Star's main man James Yap to the Rain or Shine Elasto Painters during the 2016–17 PBA season, Maliksi was given more minutes under new coach Chito Victolero. [10] [11] On January 28, 2017, he led Star with 25 points in a lopsided 47-point win against the Meralco Bolts, making him named as Player of The Week. [12] He set his career-high 33 points the following game in a 124–87 victory against the Mahindra Enforcer, hitting 7-out-of-8 in the three-point line. [13]
On September 10, 2017, Maliksi, along with Chris Javier, was traded to the Blackwater Elite for Kyle Pascual and Riego Gamalinda. [14]
On October 25, 2019, Maliksi, along with Raymar Jose, was traded to the Meralco Bolts for Mike Tolomia, KG Canaleta, and two second round draft picks in 2020 and 2022. [15]
