Jervy A. Cruz (born September 9, 1986) is a Filipino professional basketball player for the South Cotabato Warriors of the Maharlika Pilipinas Basketball League (MPBL).

Contents

Cruz played college basketball for the University of Santo Tomas (UST) Growling Tigers of the University Athletic Association of the Philippines (UAAP). In a decorated college career, Cruz was awarded the UAAP Most Valuable Player in UAAP Season 70, and played a key role in the Growling Tigers' upset championship victory over the heavily-favored Ateneo de Manila University (ADMU) Blue Eagles in UAAP Season 69.

After his stellar college career, Cruz was picked fifth overall in the 2009 PBA draft by the Rain or Shine Elasto Painters. Cruz was the third youngest player in the 2009–10 PBA season at only 23 years of age. He played 45 games and he averaged 6.4 points per game, 0.2 blocks per game, and 4.4 rebounds per game.

After six seasons for Rain or Shine, he was sent initially to the GlobalPort Batang Pier for Jewel Ponferada [2] but never played for them as he was traded after more than a month to Barako for Rico Maierhofer. [3]

Cruz was traded again by Barako Bull to Barangay Ginebra for Rodney Brondial and a 2018 second round pick after only four games into the 2015–16 season. [4]
