Ildefonso couldn’t hold back his tears. Under league rules, a player without a contract is a free agent without a team. His rights are still held by San Miguel Beer but until he is signed to a contract, Ildefonso remains homeless.

Brown sends regrets

Ricardo Brown won't be around to be honored as one of the greatest 25 players
in the Philippine Basketball Association (PBA) at the Big Dome tonight.

In a letter sent to PBA Commissioner Emilio Bernardino a few days ago, the 1985
MVP said: "I am deeply honored to be named as one of the top 25 players of all
time. You cannot imagine how very special this means to me.
