EVEN with his jersey formally retired by San Miguel, Arwind Santos declared he’s not through yet playing basketball.
The 42-year-old veteran said he’s eyeing to play again next year as he just came from an injury.

On whether it’s in the PBA or any other league, Santos wouldn’t say where.
“That doesn’t mean hindi na ako maglalaro, kasi jersey lang naman ang na-retire. Para sa akin yung passion ko, yung pagmamahal ko sa basketball nandiyan pa rin,” he said.
“Anytime, hindi natin masabi, baka maglaro ulit ako. Hindi ko lang alam kung saan.”
Santos last played in the PBA for Northport where he suited up for two seasons, and then went to the MPBL and joined discoverer-mentor Delta Pineda in the Pampanga Giant Lanterns' run to a championship.
At the moment, the 2013 MVP is planning to rest and regained his playing form in preparation for a comeback by next season.
“Gusto ko ngayon pahinga ako kasi galing din ako sa injury nung nasa Northport ako. Naglaro ako pero feel ko hindi siya gagaling hangga’t naglalaro ako. Kailangan talaga ipapahinga siya,” said Santos.
“Kasi ang feeling ko ngayon kapag napapahinga siya, lumalakas siya. Yan ang nararamdaman ko,” he added. “Pero ako I’m hoping, gusto ko pa ring makabalik dahil kasi yan ang passion ko at mahal ko pa rin ang basketball. At yung mga anak ko gusto pa rin nila akong makitang maglaro.”
