Professional career
Ibañes was drafted by Welcoat Dragons in the 2006 PBA draft as the eleventh overall pick.
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. Ibañes was the subject of criticism of netizens (especially San Miguel fans) over the incident. 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.
Player profile
Ibañes is arguably one of the best defenders in the PBA today, winning the league's Defensive Player of the Year award in the 2011–12 and the 2013–14 seasons.
