Due to a calf injury, the Pinoy Sakuragi wasn't able to see action in the recent All-Filipino bubble. His contract with Magnolia expired December 31 last year, which put him in the restricted free agent list.

Since being drafted in 2004, Pingris had a colorful 16 seasons in the PBA, with 15 All-Star honors and two Finals MVPs under his belt. He also became the face of the Gilas Pilipinas PUSO campaign a few years back.
