He announced his retirement on his Instagram account on December 15, 2016, after playing for eight years in the PBA. He decided to spend his post-retirement stage in the United States with his family.
After Reyes graduated, he wanted to play in the PBA. However, the PBA had revised its rules, requiring Filipino-Americans to play in the PBL, a semi-professional league, at least one year.[2] He played for the Harbour Centre Batang Pier, helping them win their first PBL championship.[3] He also won Best Defensive Player and was a Mythical Team selection in his time there.[1]
Reyes applied for the 2006 PBA draft, but the Bureau of Immigration failed to recognize his passport in time, so he backed out and returned to Harbour Centre.[1][4] Two years later, he was successfully able to apply for the PBA draft.[3]
In the offseason, Reyes was traded to the Barako Bull Energy Boosters.[8] That would be most productive season, as he averaged 5.3 points and five rebounds in over 24 minutes of play.[5]
Powerade Tigers
In 2010, Reyes and a second round pick were sent to the Powerade Tigers in a 5-player, three-team trade.[9] After the 2010–11 season ended, despite getting a one-year contract offer from Powerade, he decided to retire and move to Florida to be with his family.[8]
On August 23, 2012, a trade was approved that sent him and Nonoy Baclao to the Air21 Express.[10] Against his former team during the 2012–13 Philippine Cup, he scored 17 points on 8-of-9 shooting with six rebounds to help Air21 get the win.[11] In their match against the Alaska Aces, he was seen hitting the Aces' Calvin Abueva in the face with an open hand. Reyes denied that he hit Abueva and was just trying to stand up, and claimed that Abueva pulled his jersey, causing both of them to fall down. Referees didn't see the play, so he wasn't given a technical foul.[12] He was fined P10,000 for his actions and for taunting Abueva.[13] In 2013, he announced that he had torn his ACL, this time on his opposite knee.[14]
Return to the Tropang Texters
On October 14, 2013, Reyes and a 2015 second round draft pick were sent to Talk 'N Text.[15] This marked a return to the franchise that had drafted him.[16] He was able to win one more championship with Talk 'N Text in the 2015 Commissioner's Cup.[5]
A season later, NLEX traded Reyes to the Mahindra Floodbuster for Bradwyn Guinto.[18] Mahindra however didn't give him a contract. On December 15, 2016, he announced his retirement on his Instagram account, deciding to return to the US to be with his family.[5]
In 2012, while he was still playing for Petron and later on Air21, Reyes wrote a regular column for InterAKTV.[8] In it he wrote about his experiences as a PBA player and being a Filipino-American.[8][2]
Post-retirement
After retiring, Reyes took up surfing. In 2020, he started a fundraiser "Share the Stroke", that gives surfboards to children in La Union.[20]
