The Southeast Texas Mavericks earlier this week released Guard/Forward Jermaine Blackburn.

Blackburn helped lead the Mavericks to the 2010 ABA National Championship and was a First Team All-ABA player.

With that said, it is in the best interest of this year's team and our entire organization that we part ways. We wish Jermaine the best of luck in the future." States SETX Mavericks General Manager/Head Coach Steve Tucker.

With the departure of Blackburn, the Mavericks filled the open roster spot with Houston, TX native and former Georgetown College (KY) point guard Hollis Giles.
