THIS is a rare case of one and done in the PBA.
Rookie free agent Justine Guevarra suited up for San Miguel in last Saturday’s PBA On Tour game in Ilagan City Isabela against Phoenix.
Guevarra was a fourth-round pick of the Beermen in the Season 50 draft, taken at No. 44 overall.

But don’t look for the former University of East big man to join the team once the season-ending Governors’ Cup resumes on Oct. 7.
Team manager Gee Abanilla clarified that Guevarra playing for San Miguel was only for the On Tour game against the Fuel Masters.
Why the SMB call-up?
The Beermen only had eight players on hand going to the weekend tune-up game and needed an extra body to play against Phoenix.
Not around were import George King, June Mar Fajardo, CJ Perez, Jericho Cruz, Don Trollano, Jerrick Ahanmisi, Chris Ross, and JM Calma.
Only Marcio Lassiter, Rodney Brondial, Mo Tautuaa, Jeron Teng, Andreas Cahilig, Paolo Hernandez, Royce Mantua, and Kris Rosales were the only ones who showed up along with the 27-year-old Guevarra.
Despite playing with just a nine-man roster, San Miguel still won the game, 94-89.
