“Having him as our naturalized player alongside some of our locals that he has already played with before will be beneficial to the squad," said Panlilio.
Brownlee is expected to accept the notice of charge for a three-month ineligibility. Based on recent statements by SBP executive director Erika Dy and similar cases in the past, the sanction will be in effect retroactively.
Under Fiba regulations, a hearing would be conducted if an athlete does not accept the notice of charge.
Brownlee didn’t play for Barangay Ginebra in the PBA Commissioner’s Cup even as no sanctions were handed out shortly after the doping violation.
“Justin Brownlee is a big part of the team and the program moving forward and having him means we can hit the ground running,” Gilas Pilipinas coach Tim Cone said. “He’s already played with most of the guys so chemistry will already be there. He can now ramp up his conditioning and be ready to go once his suspension is lifted.”
