The Bay Area Dragons protect Myles Powell. PBA IMAGES
MANILA, Philippines—The PBA Commissioner’s Cup Finals took an interesting turn Tuesday as the Bay Area, which trails Barangay Ginebra in the championship series 3-2, reactivated guard Myles Powell.
Since then, Powell has been reduced to a bystander following a left foot injury sustained during practice before the playoffs.
The development was posted on the league’s website.
Powell was replaced by Andrew Nicholson, a 6-foot-10 big man who ultimately sprained his ankle in Game 3 of the best-of-seven game.
He supported the Dragons through eight games, averaging 37.3 points, 8.4 rebounds, 3.0 assists, and 2.0 steals per game.
Once a member of the Philadelphia 76ers, Powell split the club’s elimination round with Nicholson through a special deal with the PBA.
It should be remembered that the American scorer fell 50 against Rain or Shine during that phase.
The Bay Area is looking to forge a winner-take-all clash when it takes on the darlings of the crowd this Wednesday at the legendary Smart Araneta in Cubao, Quezon City.
