Upon review of the footage of the incident from last night's game (August 11) between the Mindoro Tamaraws and the GenSan Warriors, the MPBL has meted a lifetime ban on GenSan player Michole Sorela.

A ₱200,000 fine has also been slapped on Sorela for the punch that left Mindoro's Jonas Tibayan with a broken jaw and concussion.

"We condemn the incident and the MPBL won't tolerate such actions", said MPBL commissioner Kenneth duremdes in handing out stiff sanctions. "It compromises the player's safety and taint the league's image".

Kyle Dominic Tolentino had a double-double (21 points and 10 rebounds) to lead the Warriors.

The MPBL has decided to postpone the games scheduled for today, July 21, 2025 at the Batangas City Coliseum due to the heavy rains affecting Batangas City and nearby areas.

The health and safety of the teams, working staff, and fans are of utmost importance to the league.
