Meralco taps former Timberwolves player Shabazz Muhammad as import in reinforced conference

Former Minnesota Timberwolves player Shabazz Muhammad will serve as the import for the Meralco Bolts in the second conference of the Philippine Basketball Association (PBA).

Shabazz, who also played for the Milwaukee Bucks, will be a substitute for former Best Import Allen Durham, who played with the Bolts for at least three conferences. Durham is currently with the Ryukyu Golden Kings in the Japan Professional Basketball League.

Meanwhile, Terrafirma tapped the services of Antonio Hester, Jaylen Bond for Blackwater, and Cameron Forte for NorthPort.

McKenzie Moore will play for TNT, while other imports will return to the league such as Justin Brownlee for Barangay Ginebra, Mike Harris for Magnolia, Paul Harris for Phoenix Super LPG, Henry Walker for Rain or Shine, Brendan Brown for the San Miguel Beer, KJ McDaniels for NLEX, and Olu Ashaolu for Alaska.

The reinforced conference is expected to start later this month.
