Sports journalist Quinito Henson has shed light on possible plans by Barangay Ginebra San Miguel to find a temporary replacement for Justin Brownlee, who might have to step away for a while.
Brownlee, a three-time PBA Best Import, is facing a potential suspension following his positive test for a banned substance at the Asian Games in Hangzhou, China. As a result, he is expected to miss the upcoming Commissioner's Cup.
Acknowledging this challenge, the esteemed PBA team has been actively exploring options for a suitable stand-in for the 35-year-old Brownlee, who received support from Jared Dillinger and Sol Mercado amid the controversy.
According to Henson, the team may have identified a prospective interim import. However, Ginebra has requested that the individual's identity remain undisclosed for the time being. Honoring this request, Henson provided a few hints about the mystery player.
Though maintaining secrecy, Henson hinted that the last name of the potential import starts with the same initial as Brownlee's. He also added that the player has previous experience in the PBA, offering enthusiasts some intriguing clues to ponder.
The news has triggered excitement among PBA and Ginebra enthusiasts, prompting them to delve into the archives to unravel the mystery.
Regardless of the replacement, the fact remains that Ginebra, led by Tim Cone, will need to defend their title without their esteemed resident import. In the previous season's PBA Commissioner's Cup, Brownlee's remarkable performance helped secure victory for Ginebra, highlighting his pivotal role within the team.
So, the last name starts with B?
Here are the possibilities. Tony Bishop, Kyle Barone, Brandon Brown and J’Nathan Bullock.
