Mikey Williams is set to make his Philippine basketball comeback, joining the Strong Group Athletics (SGA) for the 34th Dubai International Basketball Championship.

He last played in April 2023 for TNT, with his contract being terminated following a dispute.

Williams reunites with coach Charles Tiu, with whom he previously won championships in the 2019 William Jones Cup and the 2020 Dubai Basketball Championship.

He will join NBA veterans DeMarcus Cousins and Andray Blatche, alongside imports Malachi Richardson and Terry Larrier, and local players like Rhenz Abando and Dave Ildefonso.

Williams arrived in Manila on January 14 and immediately joined practice for the upcoming tournament.

SGA lost to Al-Riyadi in the final last year.

Blatche has indicated that his participation with SGA could be his final tournament.
