Wilcon Depot 3x3 was a Philippine 3x3 basketball team which competes in the PBA 3x3, organized by the Philippines' top-flight professional league, Philippine Basketball Association.

History

Wilcon Depot 3x3 was formally launched on June 29, 2023. It joined the first conference of the 2023 season of the PBA 3x3.[1] This was hailed as the first participation in sports by its home and construction supplies company, Wilcon Depot Inc.[2] The initial roster was made from the core of former team, Platinum Karaoke.[3]

As Quezon City–Wilcon Depot, the team clinched the 2023 Chooks-To-Go Pilipinas 3x3 Quest earning a berth in the 2023 FIBA 3x3 World Tour Cebu Masters. It became the second PBA 3x3 team to qualify for a Masters-level FIBA 3x3 pro circuit tournament after TNT Triple Giga.[4][5]

The team would however become defunct and was replaced by MCFASolver Tech Centrale for the second conference.[6] The same team also took part at the Cebu Masters in lieu of Wilcon.
