Magnolia Hotshots sign Terrell Brown-Soares as import for PBA Commissioner’s Cup

The Magnolia Hotshots have bolstered their roster ahead of the upcoming Philippine Basketball Association (PBA) Commissioner’s Cup, signing University of San Diego standout Terrell Brown-Soares as their import with hopes of making a deep run in the midseason tournament.

Brown-Soares arrived in Manila over the weekend and wasted no time getting acclimated to his new environment. On Sunday, February 8, the 6-foot-9 big man shared a lunch meeting with Magnolia head coach and PBA legend LA Tenorio, giving both sides an early opportunity to discuss expectations, system fit, and preparations for the Commissioner’s Cup.

“He is a new import. Hopefully, he will fit in well with the team,” Tenorio said when asked by the media about Magnolia’s new reinforcement.

Magnolia is banking on Brown-Soares’ size, mobility, and versatility in the frontcourt as the team looks to improve on its recent performances and reassert itself as a title contender. Known for his ability to score inside, rebound effectively, and stretch the floor when needed, Brown-Soares is expected to play a key role on both ends of the floor in a conference where imports often dictate a team’s fortunes.

Brown-Soares enjoyed a productive collegiate career at the University of San Diego, where he established himself as one of the West Coast Conference’s most reliable big men. After declaring for the National Basketball Association (NBA) Draft, he went undrafted but continued to pursue his professional career overseas. His journey has taken him across multiple countries, including stints in the Czech Republic and Mexico, before most recently suiting up for Miasto Szkla Krosno in Poland.

Now, the Philippine basketball scene represents a new challenge—and opportunity—for Brown-Soares, who joins a Magnolia squad blending veteran leadership with emerging local talent. As the Commissioner’s Cup approaches, all eyes will be on how quickly the new import adjusts to the physicality, pace, and passionate atmosphere of the PBA, and whether he can help propel the Hotshots toward another championship run.
