The 6 foot 10 inch defender registered 10 points, eight rebounds, two assists and a block in 23:13 minutes. He converted three of eight field goal shot attempts and converted four of six free throw attempts.
It was an encouraging start for Brimah who got praise from Guaynabo Head Coach Brad Greenberg after his signing. Teammate David Stockton led Guaynabo with 21 points; Stockton is the son of NBA Hall of Famer John Stockton.
Guaynabo plays Santurce on September 17 next.
