ABL: Beermen sign former Meralco import Jarrid Famous
The first import that was replaced in the PBA Commissioner’s Cup is heading to the ASEAN Basketball League.
Jarrid Famous will be reinforcing the ABL’s San Miguel Beermen starting on Wednesday after the six-foot-11 frontman from South Florida was replaced by NBA journeyman Earl Barron as import of the Meralco Bolts.
Famous will take the place of Doug Thomas, who recently tore his LCL (lateral collateral ligament) making him unavailable for the Beermen’s next matches, and will join Dalron Johnson.
The Beermen will face the Indonesia Warriors on Wednesday at the Ynares Arena.
Famous averaged 26 points, 15 rebounds and 1.67 blocks in three games with the Bolts this conference.
He had 13.9 points and 9.8 rebounds per game in the 2011-2012 season of the NBA Developmental League with the Fort Wayne Mad Ants and Iowa Energy.
