Former NBA player Andre Roberson has arrived in Manila.

Roberson will join Strong Group Athletics, the Philippine representative to the Dubai International Basketball Championship this January.

Meanwhile, Dwight Howard's arrival was delayed as his flight with Andray Blatche got delayed.

"Rough start for us as the airline bringing @DwightHoward and @drayblatche was so delayed and they missed their connecting flight!," Tiu wrote earlier.

However, the two are expected to arrive in Manila on Sunday night.

Aside from the three foreign players, McKenzie Moore will also join the team, along with collegiate standouts Kevin Quiambao, Francis Escandor, Allen Liwag, Tony Ynot, and Justine Sanchez.
