Rice, who made his debut in Game 1, contributed 16 points and two rebounds in a 109-105 loss to their Rain or Shine.

A product of the University of California, Berkeley, Bird was drafted as the 56th overall pick in the 2017 NBA Draft by the Celtics.

He spent two seasons with Boston, along with time in the G League with the Maine Red Claws.

Over the last two years, Bird has taken his talents overseas, playing in Mexico and Indonesia.

Last season, he averaged 19.8 points, 7.7 rebounds, and 3.1 assists per game with Rajawali Medan.
