After ROS exit, will James Yap return to play in the PBA?
James Yap’s next steps will not be with Rain or Shine.
The Elasto Painters announced Monday that the two-time PBA Most Valuable Player is moving on.
“From his early days with Welcoat in the PBL to becoming an integral part of the Rain or Shine family in the PBA, James Yap has left an indelible mark on our franchise,” the team said.
“We look forward to the legacy you will continue to build in the next games of your life. A million thanks is not enough to express our gratitude.”
Yap came over to Rain or Shine as part of the blockbuster Paul Lee trade with Magnolia in 2016.
In the ongoing PBA Commissioner’s Cup, Yap appeared in three games for ROS and in his final appearance for the team vs. Converge, he score nine points on perfect 3-of-3 shooting from deep.
