Justin Brownlee back with Ginebra for PBA 50 Commissioner’s Cup

Justin Brownlee is returning as an import for the Barangay Ginebra San Miguel in the upcoming PBA 50 Commissioner’s Cup.

According to a report on the PBA website, the 37-year-old veteran will once again suit up for the Gin Kings, one decade since he first joined the storied franchise.  

Brownlee joined Barangay Ginebra to replace the injured Paul Harris during the PBA Commissioner’s Cup in July 2016.

Since then, Brownlee has won six PBA championships and three Best Import of the Conference awards, twice in the Commissioner’s Cup.  

PBA Commissioner Willie Marcial earlier said the mid-season conference will have no height limit for imports.  

Brownlee and Ginebra look to improve on their performance from the last Commissioner’s Cup, where they lost to eventual champions, the TNT Tropang 5G in the best-of-seven finals series.

Other PBA teams have also unveiled their reinforcements, mostly new faces.

According to the PBA website, the NLEX Road Warriors have tapped Cady Lalanne of Haiti while the Phoenix Fuelmasters have signed James Dickey.  

The 6-foot-10 Lalanne was a second round pick by the San Antonio Spurs in the 2015 NBA Draft, eventually playing for the Austin Spurs in the G League.

Lalanne has played in various countries like Puerto Rico, China, Italy, Turkey, Spain, South Korea, Kuwait and most recently Taiwan with the Kaohsiung Aquas. 

“Cady adds much-needed size in our frontcourt in the upcoming PBA 50th Season Commissioner’s Cup! Welcome to the PBA and the NLEX family, Cady!,” the Road Warriors wrote on their social media post welcoming Lalanne.

Dickey, who is the first import of Phoenix under new head coach Charles Tiu, went undrafted in the 2020 NBA Draft.

The 6-foot-10 player likewise has overseas experience after competing in Hungary, Germany, Israel, France, Ukraine and Indonesia.  

Dickey last played for the Pelita Jaya Basketball Club in the Indonesian Basketball League, where he was teammates with Brownlee in 2014.  

The PBA 50 Commissioner’s Cup is scheduled to tip off on March 11.
