‘Hard-nosed’ Millora-Brown enters new chapter with Chiba Jets
MANILA, Philippines – Quentin Millora-Brown’s next stop: Japan.
The 6-foot-10 Gilas Pilipinas big man will be embarking on a new journey as an Asian import for the Chiba Jets, the team announced on Friday, January 23.
Millora-Brown will serve as the Jets’ import for the remainder of the 2025-2026 Japan B. League season.
He replaces Chinese big man Michael Ou, who was placed on the injury list.
“Just playing hard-nosed and being excited to be here every day,” Millora-Brown said about what he brings to the team. “I’m super excited to be here, super excited to play in front of you guys soon. Just really excited for the opportunity.”
The 25-year-old joins fellow new import Jeff Gibbs, who replaces injured John Moone as the team dealt with numerous injuries this season.
Millora-Brown rose through the ranks in his lone playing year with the UP, averaging 14.0 points, 9.0 rebounds, and 2.3 assists to lift the Fighting Maroons to the UAAP Season 87 championship.
Before his stint with UP, he played in the NCAA Division 1 with Rice University, Vanderbilt, and The Citadel.
Last year, Millora-Brown was reclassified as a Filipino local with special exemption under FIBA competitions, allowing him to be an Asian import in Japan.
He suited up for Gilas Pilipinas in the first window of the FIBA World Cup 2027 Asian Qualifiers, putting up 7.5 points and 9.5 rebounds in a pair of games against Guam.
Millora-Brown is seen as a significant boost to the Jets’ frontcourt as the team looks to maintain its place among the best teams in the B. League with a 26-6 record.
“I’m super excited to be a part of this amazing program,” Millora-Brown said in a statement. “I’m looking forward to competing with the team in front of all of you and playing with Jets Speed and Jets Pride.” – Rappler.com
