Allen Durham May Not Come Back Next Conference

Allen Durham
Meralco will have to find another way to sustain their improving performance after reports showed that their resident import may not be back next conference.

Coach Norman Black doesn't see long-time import Allen Durham returning for another tour of duty with the franchise in the league’s second conference tentatively set to start mid-November.

"Allen Durham is currently playing in Japan, so his availability is question mark," said the Meralco mentor.

Durham, 33, and a three-time PBA Best Import awardee, is with the Ryukyu Golden Kings in the Japan B.League, where he averages 11.0 points, 6.5 rebounds, and 2.5 assists as a starter for the team.

A 6-foot-6 workhorse, Durham reinforced the Bolts four straight seasons in the Governors Cup from 2016 to 2019 and leading the franchise to a semifinals stint each time, including three runner-up finishes opposite Brownlee and the Kings in 2016, 2017, and 2019.
