Blackwater takes a first step to end its free fall by bringing in a new import to replace Jaylen Bond.

Bond was already on his way out when the Elite absorbed another loss, their 24th straight overall, this time against Alaska on Wednesday. He could only muster 2 points, 5 rebounds, and 3 assists against the Aces who went on to give the shorthanded Elite yet another 98-75 shellacking.
