Blackwater has decided to take a chance on Kelly Nabong who was recently left unsigned by NorthPort following the PBA bubble.

The 32-year-old Fil-American was given a short-term deal by the Ever Bilena group Wednesday, paving the way for his return to the team.

It will be a homecoming for the feisty power forward who played for Blackwater in the D-League.

"Galing sa amin 'yan sa D-League," Blackwater owner Dioceldo Sy said in the PBA website.
