Following De La Salle University’s title win in the UAAP Season 88 men’s basketball tournament last December, Finals MVP Mike Phillips had yet to map out his next move, particularly his jump to the professional ranks.

Online sports sites Spin.ph and Tiebreaker Times had reported the development first last week.
