After his contract with PBA's NorthPort expired last April 30, Tolentino signed with the Seoul SK Knights in the Korean Basketball League.

Javi Gomez de Liaño, meanwhile, announced on Thursday that he has re-signed with the Anyang JKJ Red Boosters.
Ulsan Hyundai Mobis Phoebus also confirmed that former De La Salle-College of Saint Benilde standout Migs Oczon has also been re-signed by the team.
