MANILA — Junemar Fajardo, RR Pogoy, and Troy Rosario finally returned to the Gilas Pilipinas Men's practice at the Meralco Gym in Pasig City on Tuesday night following the PBA Commissioner's Cup Finals.
Just four days after playing in the championship series, the three players made a comeback to national team training just in time for Gilas Men's final gear-up for the FIBA World Cup.
A total of 14 players participated in the practice, including Japeth Aguilar, Raymond Almazan, Mark Barroca, Beau Belga, Andray Blatche, Robert Bolick, Poy Erram, Paul Lee, Gabe Norwood, CJ Perez, and Kiefer Ravena.
A 15th player, Matt Wright, was also in attendance but decided to sit out the practice due to an ankle injury he got during Monday night's training.
The other player in the pool, Marcio Lassiter, who was also injured, was not in attendance as he joined the San Miguel Beermen in its championship party at the nearby San Miguel Corp. office. (PNA)
