Last week the Storm announced the signing of former Quebec Keb and NBL of Canada all-star Ralphy Holmes.

Monday, however, the team issued a press release saying Holmes will not be in the Storm lineup as expected due to “personal reasons.” He was expected to arrive on the Island Monday evening.

The Storm say they still plan to have Holmes join their roster “in the near future,” but the release did not say when the team expects him to be ready to play.
