    JP Erram has been summoned to the PBA Commissioner’s Office on Wednesday to discuss his foul that left Ian Sangalang with a bloody forehead in Game 6 of the Philippine Cup semifinal series between Magnolia and TNT on Sunday night.

    The TNT big man said the contact wasn’t intentional as the Magnolia center baited him while going for a shot under the basket. A flagrant foul 2 carries an automatic P20,000 fine under league rules.

    Meanwhile, Blackwater Bossing bowed to the Bay Area Dragons in a tuneup match, 121-83.

    Converge coach Aldin Ayo confirmed the acquisition of NBA veteran Quincy Miller as the FiberXers’ import for the Commissioner’s Cup.

    Miller, listed at 6’10”, is the 38th overall pick in the 2012 NBA Draft and has played for the Denver Nuggets, Sacramento Kings, and the Detroit Pistons.
