Professional career

On January 15, 2016, in the Game 6 of the 2015–16 PBA Philippine Cup semi-finals against the San Miguel Beermen, Ibañes accidentally injured San Miguel and Philippine national team star June Mar Fajardo while boxing Fajardo out for a rebound.

However, he apologized for the incident, saying it was just an accident and had no intention to hurt Fajardo and hoped for a speedy recovery for Fajardo.[1]
