Beermen, Bolts gear up for EASL

MANILA, Philippines —  San Miguel and Meralco’s preparations for the East Asia Super League are now in full swing less than a month before the 2024-25 season unfolds at the MOA Arena.

Former NBA player Quincy Miller arrived in Manila last week and has joined the Beermen in practice where he’ll likely team up with either Jordan Adams or Sheldon Mac in helping the team in its return bid in the regional cage league.

The Bolts will rely on Ange Kouame, who will play as a naturalized player and will partner with resident import Allen Durham and DJ Kennedy, a former Cleveland Cavalier.

Both San Miguel and Meralco will open the doubleheader tip-off on Oct. 2 against separate opponents.

The Beermen play in the 6 p.m. curtain raiser against Korea’s Suwon KT Sonicboom while the Bolts face the Macau Black Bears in the other game.
