JUSTIN Brownlee has now rejoined Meralco as it prepped up for its all-important game against Ryukyu Golden Kings on the final playdate of the EASL Home and Away Season 3.
The 37-year-old Brownlee practiced with the Bolts over the weekend, just days before they take on the Golden Kings in a virtual do-or-die game in Feb. 11 at the Smart Araneta Coliseum.

Together with Brownlee, also reinforcing Meralco is Asian import Sina Vahedi and regular import Ismael Romero, who is coming off a controversy after attacking Zamboanga Valientes player Nick Demusis in the 35th Dubai International Basketball Championship.
The Bolts are tapping incoming NLEX import Cady Lalanne as replacement for the injured Rondae Hollis-Jefferson, Spin.ph learned from sources.
Meralco apparently failed to secure the services of its initial choice and since the 6-foot-10 Lalanne is already in town, the team wisely loaned him from the Road Warriors.
Also joining Meralco in its practices are newly-signed rookies Jason Brickman and Vince Magbuhos.
The Bolts played back-to-back friendlies against NLEX and Phoenix, respectively.
