The San Miguel Beermen have signed George King. On Wednesday, Blackwater released its rights to King, paving the way for him to sign with San Miguel for the PBA Season 50 Governors’ Cup. King, the 6-foot-6 scorer from the University of Colorado, previously made a strong impression with the Bossing during the 2024 PBA Commissioner’s Cup. In 10 games, he averaged 34.5 points, 10.4 rebounds, and 2.5 assists per game, highlighted by a 64-point explosion on September 23, 2024, in a 139–118 win over Rain or Shine. Since his stint with Blackwater, King played in Lebanon, Egypt, Iraq, Taiwan, and, most recently, with German club Gladiators Trier. He now joins a San Miguel squad eager to bounce back after a Commissioner’s Cup campaign that saw the team cycle through three imports — Marcus Lee, Justin Patton, and Bennie Boatwright. The Beermen finished the eliminations as the sixth seed with a 7–5 record before bowing to the Elasto Painters in the quarterfinals, ending their bid for a grand slam. San Miguel is now eyeing a breakthrough in the Governors’ Cup, where it has not won a title in 11 years. The team is looking to improve its performance with the addition of King, who is known for his scoring ability and rebounding prowess. With King on board, the Beermen are hoping to make a deep run in the playoffs and bring home the championship. The PBA Season 50 Governors’ Cup is set to begin soon, and the San Miguel Beermen are ready to take on the challenge with their new import. The team is confident that King will be a key player in their quest for the title, and they are excited to see him in action. The San Miguel Beermen are a team on a mission, and with George King leading the way, they are looking to make a statement in the PBA.
