MANILA, Philippines - Matapos umaming bading sa Sports Illustrated, ang veteran center na si  Jason Collins at may limang buwan para maghanap ng team bago magbukas ang 2013-14 NBA training camps.

Si  Collins ay active NBA player na unang player na umaming bading  sa apat na major North American professional sports  ay tiwalang hindi matatapos ang kanyang career matapos umaming bading.

Makalipas ang tatlong buwan ay wala pa ring team si Collins. Puwedeng senyales ito ng  pagtitipid ng liga o isang babala para sa mga bading na atleta.

“I look at it, honestly, like any other free agency in the past several years, where I know I have to stay patient,” sabi ng 34-gulang na si Collins, lumaro lamang ng 38 games noong nakaraang season, nag-ave-rage ng 10 minutes a game bilang defensive-minded center para sa Boston at Washington. “And I know that at this point in my career, you remain hopeful that there’s a job and an opportunity waiting for you once teams start to fill out their rosters.”
