Blackwater Bossing will parade a new import in Robert Upshaw III for Sunday's PBA Commissioner's Cup game against Magnolia. Upshaw, a seven-footer, will replace Daniel Ochefu, who is dealing with a hyperextended knee suffered in losses to NLEX and Terrafirma. The 32-year-old was already in town watching behind the bench as Blackwater was pounded by Terrafirma, 99-88, at Ynares Center in this city on Wednesday. In that game, Ochefu was limited to 11 points. Upshaw was a former player in the NBA G-League with the Los Angeles D-Fenders, before beginning a globetrotting pro career in Europe, South America and Asia. His last pro stint was with the Suke Lions of China's National Basketball League. The Bossing look to enter the win column against a Hotshots squad that also dropped its first two assignments. Blackwater Bossing head coach will need to strategize to get the team back on track. The team's defense will be crucial in containing Magnolia's offense. Upshaw's addition will provide a boost to the team's rebounding and blocking capabilities. The game will be a crucial test for both teams as they look to get their first win in the PBA Commissioner's Cup.
