After becoming an unrestricted free agent when Blackwater released him upon the expiration of his old contract in December, Amer has found a new home in NLEX. 

 

The former San Beda standout is a welcome addition to the Road Warriors, who have been struggling with injuries in their backcourt rotation. 

 

Amer will serve as a stabilizing presence that could fill up the void caused by the absences of Kevin Alas, Matt Nieto, and Rob Herndon due to health concerns. 

 

The move also reunited Amer and seasoned tactician Frankie Lim as the two helped the Red Lions capture an NCAA title in 2011.
