On November 28, 2020, Muyang announced that he would enter the upcoming PBA season 46 draft.[3][5] In said draft, he was selected with the seventh pick of the first round by the Phoenix Super LPG Fuel Masters.
Return to Pampanga (2025)
In 2025, Muyang returned to the MPBL, once again playing for Pampanga despite being still under contract by Phoenix. Paolo Bugia, Fuel Masters team manager, said that the team penalized Muyang after he was caught playing in an unsanctioned game in March. After which, Muyang "made a decision to go [to the MPBL]", but Phoenix "just wanted to move forward". The Fuel Masters have since submitted a letter to the PBA about the situation.[6] On April 13, Muyang was formally handed an indefinite ban from the PBA, with the option to appeal to the board of governors.[7]
Converge FiberXers (2025–present)
On September 4, his PBA playing rights were handed to the Converge FiberXers as part of a larger three-team trade with Phoenix and the NorthPort Batang Pier.[8] It was eventually confirmed by new Converge head coach Dennis Pineda that Muyang's ban from the PBA was lifted and that he would join after the 2025 MPBL season.[9]
On October 21, after his stint with the Pampanga in the MPBL, Muyang signed with the Converge, making his return in the PBA.[10]
