Jamie James Malonzo Orme (born July 31, 1996) is a Filipino-American professional basketball player for the Barangay Ginebra San Miguel of Philippine Basketball Association (PBA).[1] [2]
Malonzo was selected second overall by the NorthPort Batang Pier during the PBA Season 46 draft.[3]
On September 20, 2022, Malonzo was traded to the Barangay Ginebra San Miguel for Prince Caperal, Arvin Tolentino, and a 2022 first-round pick.[4]
On March 10, 2024, Malonzo tore his calf muscle during the 2024 PBA Philippine Cup quarterfinals at the Rizal Memorial Coliseum. He successfully underwent calf-achilles surgery but the recuperation period is from six to eight weeks.[5]
Malonzo is eligible to play for the Philippines national team as a local under FIBA eligibility rules since he received his Philippine passport when he was eight years old.[6]
He was included in the 21-man pool for the 2023 FIBA World Cup,[7] where he was eventually included in the final 12-man lineup.[8]
As of the end of 2023–24 season[9]
