Former San Miguel import Chris McCullough will play for Strong Group Athletics (SGA) in the 34th Dubai International Basketball Championship, replacing Terry Larrier.

McCullough, who was the MVP of the 2024 William Jones Cup for SGA with averages of 21.1 points, 8.1 rebounds, 2.8 assists, 1.6 steals, and 1.1 blocks, found ways to get permission to play for the Philippines again.

He joins other former NBA players on the SGA roster, including Demarcus Cousins and Malachi Richardson, along with local stars like Mikey Williams and Rhenz Abando.

The team, which suffered a narrow loss in last year's finals, seeks redemption.

SGA's campaign begins on Friday, January 24, against the Dubai National Team at 11:00 p.m., Manila time.

Additional games are scheduled against Al Nasr on Sunday at 1 a.m., Amman on Tuesday at 1 a.m., and Beirut on Thursday at 1 a.m.
