A pair of veterans have been relegated by NLEX to the unrestricted free agent list for the PBA Commissioner’s Cup.
Baser Amer and Michael Miranda joined third-year guard Richie Rodger in the team’s free agent list but with rights to salary.

Both Amer and Miranda were in street clothes and watched from the bench as the Road Warriors won their opening game against Blackwater Bossing, 84-81, on Friday night at the Ninoy Aquino Stadium.
The 33-year-old Amer suited up for the Road Warriors during the season-opening Philippine Cup, while the 36-year-old Miranda has been a UFAWR2S since the start of Season 50.
Rodger was originally listed in the Road Warriors’ 15-man roster, but suffered a groin injury two days before the opening of the second conference, paving the way for new acquisition Kevin Racal to be reactivated.
Racal, acquired along with Schonny Winston from Converge for Jonnel Policarpio and Javee Mocon, played seven minutes in his NLEX debut and ended up scoreless.
Meanwhile, relegated to the injury/reserved list is rookie Arvin Gamboa, who is coming off a right shoulder injury. The Mapua bruiser was a second-round pick of NLEX in the Season 50 draft.
