Defending champion Titanes de Barranquilla (Liga WPlay) strengthened their roster with addition of experienced 36-year old Panamanian 205cm power forward Josimar Ayarza (college: Southern Miss).

Ayarza represented Panama at the Central American Games in Managua (Nicaragua) six years ago. Ayarza's team won Gold.
