The reigning PBA Most Valuable Player (MVP) cited personal reasons and the recent surgery performed on him to remove the polyp in his nose as to why he had to decline the invitation.

Salud said filling up the void left by Yap will solely rest on the SBP and national coach Rajko Toroman, who is currently in China with the Smart Gilas squad for the 4th Asian Basketball Association Club Championship.
