Physicians already
cleared June Mar Fajardo to get back for Gilas Pilipinas practice on Monday
after having a swollen knee caused by normal wear and tear.
Another good news is
that Jeff Chan will join practice for the first time today, giving the team
hope after the withdrawals of Paul Lee, Greg Slaughter and Matt Ganuelas-Rosser
due to serious injuries.
Chan, who is still
recovering revealed that he just had a fourth therapy session to ease the pain
in his groin and that doctors have ruled out a magnetic resonance imaging (MRI)
test. He injured his groin during their Game 6 win over the Commissioner’s Cup
Finals.
The Rain or Shine’s
6-foot-2 gunner walked with a limp when he first reported to Baldwin last
Tuesday, yet excited to rejoin the team, saying “no greater feeling than
playing at home.”
Meanwhile, Gilas coach
Tab Baldwin will also welcome to fold tomorrow the biggest component of Gilas
in naturalized center Andray Blatche.
The Philippines will
clash with the Tony Parker-powered French five and then New Zealand in the
first phase, needing to win at least one game to make it to the next round.
