Panteras de Miranda (SPB) added to their roster 30-year old American power forward Elijah Minnie (203cm-96kg-1994, college: EMU, agency: Elevate Sports Alliance) for new 2025 season.

The list of the past achievements is quite long as among others Minnie's team won TBL East Division Regular Season in 2021. Minnie was voted to All-MAC Honorable Mention back in 2019.
He is a former Eurobasket Summer League player, which is considered top summer league for players who want to play basketball overseas.
