San Miguel Beer has enlisted former PBA import Quincy Miller as their reinforcement for the 2024-25 East Asia Super League home-and-away season.
SMB team manager Gee Abanilla confirmed the addition of Miller, who previously played for Converge in the 2022 Commissioner’s Cup.
Standing at 6 feet 10 inches, Miller also bolstered TNT’s roster during the following season’s Commissioner’s Cup and was one of the Tropang Giga’s imports in last season’s EASL.
In last season’s East Asia Super League with TNT, Miller, who was selected 38th overall by the Denver Nuggets in the 2012 NBA Draft, averaged 28.3 points and 9.5 rebounds per game.
With a track record of success, having secured championships in the ABA (Adriatic League), Serbia, and Israel, the 31-year-old Miller is expected to bring added size, rebounding, and interior presence to the Beermen. He will also be teaming up with eight-time PBA Most Valuable Player June Mar Fajardo.
San Miguel and Meralco will represent the PBA and the Philippines in the rapidly expanding regional basketball league this upcoming season.
San Miguel kicks off the new season on October 2 with a matchup against the 2023-24 Korean Basketball League runner-up Suwon KT Sonicboom in the first game of a double-header at the Mall of Asia Arena.
That same day, the Meralco Bolts, who won the Philippine Cup last season, will take on the Macau Black Bears, a new team in the EASL.
San Miguel is placed in Group A, where they will compete against Japan’s B.League champions Hiroshima Dragonflies, P. LEAGUE+ runners-up Taoyuan Pauian Pilots, Korean team Suwon KT Sonicboom, and Hong Kong Eastern.
Meralco is in Group B, alongside Japanese league runners-up Hiroshima Dragonflies, Korean club Busan KCC Egis, New Taipei Kings from P. LEAGUE+, and Macau Black Bears.
