Hard-luck Blackwater the latest to change import, taps Henry Walker
Walker's agent and representative in the Philippines, Sheryl Reyes, announces his return on Twitter

MANILA, Philippines – Hungry to notch their first win in the Commissioner’s Cup, the Blackwater Elite tapped the services of former import Henry Walker.

The former NBA player, who led the Elite to a quarterfinals apperance in the Governors’ Cup last season, will replace Jarrid Famous.

Walker’s agent and representative in the Philippines, Sheryl Reyes, announced his return on Twitter on Monday, May 21.

“Hey Blackwater fans, he’s back,” wrote Reyes.


The first order of business for Walker when he suits up is to help Blackwater crack the winning column and end a 6-game dry spell.

Famous had normed monster numbers of 26.3 points, 18.3 rebounds and 1.5 blocks but that didn’t prevent the Elite from crashing to last place in the standings. 

Blackwater has more than a week to acclimate Walker to head coach Bong Ramos’ system before facing the NLEX Road Warriors on May 30 at the Araneta Coliseum. – Rappler.com
