WATCH:
Qualls is one of the returning imports in the PBA, but playing for a new ballclub after previously suiting up for NorthPort during the 2019 Governors’ Cup.
During that stint, Qualls helped the Batang Pier reach the semifinals where they lost to the eventual champion Barangay Ginebra.
Aside from Qualls, NorthPort also had Christian Standhardinger, the recently named Finals MVP of the 2022 Commissioner’s Cup, in that line-up.
