The Black Bears welcomed the addition of Millora-Brown, who played for Vanderbilt and The Citadel in the US before leading UP to a title run in UAAP Season 87.

“He will join the team for the upcoming TAT [The Asian Tournament] Shanxi stop and the highly anticipated July 28 matchup against the Philippine national team, anchoring the Black Bears’ frontcourt with strength and versatility,” the team said.
