Gin Kings resident and already a franchise import, Justin Brownlee will play for the Indonesia Basketball League.
Don't worry Brgy. Ginebra fans, Brownlee is still the resident import for the team. Since PBA is currently in the Philippine Cup, Coach Tim allows Brownlee to play for other leagues. According also to Coach Tim, Brownlee will back to Ginebra in the next import conference in June.

But his heart belonged to the Philippines since he is a naturalized import. In fact, he is the most consistent import in the Philippines as we have naturalized players before but they are not consistently playing with the NBA conferences where imports area allowed.
He will be back soon, and yes he needs to keep himself fit and at the same time will earn decent money as I'm pretty sure the offer is good knowing how good he is and had proven it already when he carried the PH in the asian games.
Speaking of Ginebra, they were upset by the Meralco Bolts last night. Chris Newsome and Allen Maliksi led the way for the Bolts, scoring 19 and 25 points respectively.
That was out of expectation, LOL.. Who would thought Ginebra losing that big? I mean, no disrespect to Meralco but this team has been struggling early on, so we got caught up by surprise and we loss our bets as well.
