Article further down one of those pages suggests the coach was sacked and Johnson was released:

Piratas de Quebradillas owner Felo Rivera fired head coach Carlos Calcano and will take over the coaching duties for the rest of the series.

Rivera informed the decision to El Nuevo Dia newspaper today, one day after they lost game one in Bayamon 87-80. He has prior experience as a player and coach with Criollos de Caguas in the past. He performed as an owner/coach in the late 90s.

It has been a busy day for the defending champions as they also signed DJ Strawberry and released Daniel Johnson. The team is waiting for tests on the knees of Jorge Brian Diaz to see if he can play again this season.

his stats from his last game are a bit off...

Im not concerned with his stats there tho, he thrived in joeys system last season and have no doubt he will again.

Puerto Rican teams change imports like underwear, I wouldn't read too much into it. A few years ago CJ Bruton was sacked as import one day and hired as coach the next!

Definitely don't read in to it.. Sacking Beal as well is the clue that it is more than an individual player issue. DJ stacked up some great stats and toast of the team initially... Sounds like a super hero owner thinks he can save the day…… Leave them to it I say… Come home DJ and we'll appreciate you and you'll get paid too…..

DJ arrived first and kicking it. Ennis arrived weeks later and that changed DJ's stats but only a little, then Ennis left and Beal replaced him. Some other player movement and the team slid down the ladder to forth... Unhappy owner after taking out chaml last year with Lisch and Redhage. Redhage now in team headed to top. Owner has wiped out coach and a load of players and now coaching himself. He use to play and thats he short version..Come home DJ.
