Justin Donta Brownlee (born April 23, 1988)[1] is an American-Filipino professional basketball player for Pelita Jaya Bakrie of the Indonesian Basketball League (IBL). He played college basketball for the St. John's Red Storm.

After going undrafted in the 2011 NBA draft, Brownlee played in the NBA Development League for the Maine Red Claws and Erie BayHawks. In 2016, he began his first of four stints at Barangay Ginebra San Miguel of the Philippine Basketball Association (PBA). With Barangay Ginebra, he won six conference titles: four PBA Governors' Cups and two PBA Commissioner's Cups. He also played for San Miguel Alab Pilipinas in the ASEAN Basketball League, winning the 2017–18 championship. Brownlee also played for Al Riyadi Club Beirut in 2019, winning the Lebanese Basketball League championship that year. The other countries he has played in are Mexico, Italy, France, and the United Arab Emirates.

In January 2023, Brownlee became a naturalized Filipino citizen, allowing him to play for the Philippines national basketball team. He made his debut one month later. He won a gold medal in the 2023 Southeast Asian Games and in the 2022 Asian Games.

College career[edit]

Brownlee played college basketball at St. John's University from 2009 to 2011.[2] In the 2011 Big East Tournament, Brownlee was involved in a controversial situation at the end of the quarterfinal between St. John's and Rutgers: With Rutgers trailing 63–65 in the final seconds, Rutgers inbounded the ball past the half-court line, where Brownlee intercepted the pass, before dribbling past midcourt and stepping out of bounds while travelling with 1.7 seconds remaining, then threw the ball high in the air in celebration. This should have allowed Rutgers an opportunity to inbound from half-court with a chance to tie or win the game, or possibly even free-throws for a technical foul; instead, the game clock continued to run and expired, the game ended without any of the possible violations being assessed.[3]

Professional career[edit]

Maine Red Claws[edit]

After Brownlee went undrafted in the 2011 NBA draft, he began his professional basketball career with Maine Red Claws team of the NBA Development League.

Brownlee also received an NBA D-League Showcase Honorable Mention Team award on January 10, 2014. He was deactivated in the roster for 2 games on February 19, 2014, during their match against the Texas Legends but was activated again during their match against the Fort Wayne Mad Ants on February 28, 2014.

In Game 1 of the 2018 PBA Commissioner's Cup Finals against the San Miguel Beermen, Brownlee led the Ginebra to a 1–0 series lead with 42 points, 7 rebounds, 9 assists and 2 blocks. He eventually won his first Best Import Award and helped the team capture the Commissioner's Cup title winning the series, 4–2.[15]

Mighty Sports-Philippines[edit]

Brownlee was tapped to help lead the Mighty Sports-Philippines basketball team in the 30th Dubai International Basketball Tournament this February 1–9, 2019.[16] He played alongside fellow imports, former NBA player Lamar Odom and Chinese Basketball Association veteran Randolph Morris to reinforce the team.[17][18][19][20]

Al Riyadi[edit]

Before returning to Barangay Ginebra San Miguel for the 2019 PBA Commissioner's Cup, Brownlee signed with Al Riyadi of the Lebanese Basketball League. He joined the team mid-season.[21]

Brownlee suited up for Ginebra for the 2021 Governors' Cup. He recorded 38 points and 12 rebounds to extend the first-round series against the TNT Tropang Giga.[29] Also, his 38 points elevated him to seventh place in the PBA All-time import scoring list, passing former import Larry McNeil.

As of April 2022, he is behind Norman Black with 11,329, Bobby Parks Sr. with 8,955, Sean Chambers with 8,225, and Lawrence Massey with 5,386. He is ahead of Bates with 4,523, Francois Wise with 4,332, McNeil with 4,169, Donny Ray Koonce with 4,103 and Billy Robinson with 4,024 points.[31]

Brownlee returned for the 2022–23 PBA Commissioner's Cup.[32] On November 18, 2022, in a win against Blackwater, he recorded his 300th steal, the first PBA import to reach that milestone.[33]

On December 18, 2022, win against Magnolia, he was the fifth import to reach 5,000 career points. On December 21, 2022, he led his team to a win against Magnolia.

After Brownlee failed a doping test at the 2022 Asian Games, he opted not to play at the 2023–24 PBA Commissioner's Cup pending the extent of the sanction to be imposed on him by FIBA.[35][36][37] Tony Bishop was brought in to play in lieu of Brownlee.[38]

Pelita Jaya (2024–)[edit]

Pelita Jaya of the Indonesian Basketball League announced on March 20, 2024 that they have signed in Brownlee.[39][40]

National team career[edit]

In August 2018, Brownlee expressed his desire to stay in the Philippines and be a naturalized citizen.[41] On August 15, 2018, a bill has been filed at the House of Representatives during the 18th Congress to grant Filipino citizenship to Brownlee.[41] The bill did not become law, and was refiled in the 19th Congress. The proposed measure, House Bill 6224 was approved by the House of Representatives in November 2022.[42] A counterpart bill in the Senate was likely passed the following month.[43] President Bongbong Marcos signed the measure into law on January 12, 2023.,[44] making Brownlee eligible to play for the Philippine national basketball team as a naturalized player under FIBA eligibility rules.[45] He made his debut for the team in the 2023 FIBA Basketball World Cup Asian qualifier game against Lebanon on February 24, 2023.[46]

In May 2023, Brownlee played for the Philippines in the 2023 Southeast Asian Games. He led the team in points, rebounds, and assists in the semi-final against Indonesia and the gold medal win over hosts Cambodia.[47][48]

He was included in the 21-man pool for the 2023 FIBA Basketball World Cup.[49] However, he was not selected as the Philippines chose Jordan Clarkson as its lone naturalized player.[50] Instead, Brownlee played for the team in the subsequent 2022 Asian Games,[51] where the team won the gold medal. However, on October 12, 2023, the International Testing Agency announced that Brownlee tested positive for 11-Nor-9-carboxy-THC, a substance linked to cannabis use and is prohibited by the World Anti-Doping Agency.[52] The test was conducted on October 7,[53] a day after the Asian Games final where the Philippines beat Jordan. His substance intake, was due to prescription drugs as part of his recovery from a surgery prior to the games.[54] Brownlee eventually sat out the 2023–24 PBA Commissioner's Cup with his team Ginebra in a bid to minimize the impact of his sanction.[37]

On February 3, 2024, the Samahang Basketbol ng Pilipinas (SBP) announced that Brownlee is cleared to play for the national team in the February 2024 window of the 2025 FIBA Asia Cup qualification.[55] The SBP revealed that FIBA gave Brownlee a three-month period of ineligibility. Since Brownlee did not play in any competitive game since the Asian Games, his sanction was retroactively applied on November 9, 2023 which meant that Brownlee is eligible to play for the national team during the aforementioned qualifying window.[36] [56]

Personal life[edit]

Brownlee has a twin sister, two other sisters, and a brother. He has four children.[57]
