Career highlights and awards

Kim Cyril Aurin (born February 5, 1997) is a Filipino professional basketball player for the TNT Tropang Giga of the Philippine Basketball Association (PBA).

Aurin played college basketball for the JRU Heavy Bombers, then for the Perpetual Altas. [1] Aurin supposedly violated unspecified team protocols while with Perpetual, leading to an indefinite suspension on the team during NCAA Season 98 (2022). [2] Aurin eventually left the team, [3] and eventually was included in the line-up of Barangay Ginebra San Miguel 3x3. [4] Aurin led Ginebra to its first leg title. [5]

Ginebra then drafted Aurin 34th overall in the 2023 PBA draft for their 5-on-5 team. [6] However, Ginebra did not sign him, and he became a free agent. [7] TNT Tropang Giga then signed Aurin and debuted for them. [8] On January 31, 2025, the TNT Tropang Giga announced a new contract extension with Aurin, securing his place on the team. [9]
