The Samahang Basketball ng Pilipinas (SBP) announced Thursday morning that the Chiba Jets big man is en route to Manila to be with the national team.
Millora-Brown gives Gilas the much-needed size it needs against the taller New Zealand and Australia national teams, said Ramos.
"I’m glad he’s able to come. I just saw it on Twitter, I think and then obviously we needed some size because New Zealand and Australia are two big teams. It’s good that he’s [back]," Ramos told reporters Thursday at the Filoil Centre.
