SAN Miguel import Tyler Wilkerson stormed out of Smart Araneta Coliseum following the Beermen’s 98-96 loss to Rain or Shine in PBA Commissioner’s Cup semifinals.
Rain or Shine now holds a 2-0 advantage in the five-game series.
Wilkerson was supposed to attend the Beermen’s post-match meeting but the import only changed his clothes and was seen racing out of the venue while shouting his heart out.
Beermen Assistant coach Dayong Mendoza called Wilkerson to come back to the locker room but the 6-foot-8 Marshall product would not budge.
Witnesses say Wilkerson repeatedly said: “I don’t want to come back, take me back to America!”
No member of the San Miguel organization made any comment on Wilkerson’s actions as the players and coaches decided not to speak to the media.
