MANILA, Philippines – Strong Group Realty just got stronger ahead of the 2023 Dubai International Basketball Championship after securing the services of Shabazz Muhammad, another former NBA player joining Nick Young and Renaldo Balkman to represent the Philippines from January 27 to February 5.
Strong Group head coach Charles Tiu, who is also coaching the NCAA’s CSB Blazers, broke the news on his Twitter account on Monday, January 9.Muhammad last played in the PBA with the San Miguel Beermen, where he averaged 35.3 points and 18.0 rebounds, albeit for just four games in the 2021 Governors’ Cup before the Meralco Bolts eliminated them in the quarterfinals.

Muhammad joins an already stacked squad for the Dubai pocket tournament, with him, Young, and Balkman leading a core of players including UAAP MVP Ange Kouame, NCAA MVP Will Gozum, Korean Basketball League import Justine Baltazar, and Fil-Am prospect Sedrick Barefield.
Rounding out the team are UAAP champions BJ Andrade and Inand Fornillos – former teammates of 22-year-old team owner Jacob Lao.
