photographer Posted July 15, 2018 Share Posted July 15, 2018 JAPETH Aguilar is keeping his hopes up that he’ll be able to play for Ginebra come Game Two of its best-of-five semifinal series against Rain or Shine in the 2018 PBA Governors’ Cup.The 6-foot-9 forward shared that he’s dealing with an Achilles injury that kept him out of the Gin Kings’ 102-89 victory over the Elasto Painters on Sunday.Asked if he’ll be able to play on Tuesday, Aguilar curtly responded, “Sana,” before giving a thumbs up.Aguilar has been unable to join the team practices since Ginebra won its quatrterfinal duel against Meralco last week.He is averaging 15.92 points, 6.92 rebounds, 1.69 assists, and 1.0 blocks for the conference.Ginebra coach Tim Cone said: “He had an MRI, and the initial reading was a slight tear but after a review it was swelling. We're being very cautious.”“He's been out of practice since our last game against Meralco. He got hit in his Achilles and he had some significant swelling in his Achilles tendon area. We don't know exactly how long he'll be out, we're hoping he can suit up in Game 2.” Cone, though, lauded his side’s resiliency despite Aguilar’s absence as the Gin Kings garnered support from all over their lineup.“The best part about doing this game tonight was being able to do it without Japeth. We were trying to find minutes to give Greg (Slaughter) breaks and he did a great job in extended minutes today. We got contributions from Jervy (Cruz) a little bit, Raymond (Aguilar) a little bit.” Slaughter finished with 20 points and six rebounds in 31 minutes of action, while Cruz and Aguilar were able to hold their own against Rain or Shine behemoth Reggie Johnson in their spot minutes off the bench.Still, Cone would like to have Aguilar back in his roster come Tuesday as Ginebra shoots for a 2-0 lead in the semifinals series.“Hopefully, he'll be back for Game 2. But right now, it's 50-50,” the mentor said. 1 Quote Link to comment
vienvenido Posted July 15, 2018 Share Posted July 15, 2018 Ganda ng depensa at pasahan... HuhuTypo lang. Hihi dapat... Sipag lang talaga.. Maganda na pag gel nila.... Quote Link to comment
daphne loves derby Posted July 16, 2018 Share Posted July 16, 2018 is it just me or JBL plays like Kobe? The moves, the fadeaways - damn so deadly. Kakatuwa panoorin si Raymond na dumedepensa ke Johnson, parang mini me. haha with jeff chan scoring in a bunch and getting more comfortable, mas lalong mahihirapan ang depensa, inside outside threat na talaga vs opposing teams.

Kazekage.Gaara Posted July 16, 2018 Share Posted July 16, 2018 Inflammed Achilles. Hopefully, the rumors of a partial tear isn't true. Otherwise, Japeth will end up sitting beside ADLC. Time for the other bigs to step up. Quote Link to comment
Archdevil Posted July 16, 2018 Share Posted July 16, 2018 Congrats BGK for the nice win. Kudos to the players who stepped-up in the absence of Japhet: Jeff Chan, Slaughter, JDV Quote Link to comment
*kalel* Posted July 16, 2018 Share Posted July 16, 2018 1-0 and 8-game winning streak. 2 more wins balik tayo sa finals. the negros sniper finally showed up. 21 points in 21 minutes. i can smell smb vs ginebra in the finals.Well played yung laro... ang kaba ko lang pag smb kalaban... costly yung mga errors nila kagabi buti na lang hindi na maximize ng ros... they should take it a game at a time... Minimize yung turn over... with japeth's health questionable, raymond and prince should step up... jervy will also play a very important role... Quote Link to comment
Maj Mujtaba Posted July 16, 2018 Share Posted July 16, 2018 No need to rush Japeth Aguilar for the series w/ ROS. Coach Tim Cone got to take this opportunity to give minutes thus sharpen Jervy Cruz and Raymond Aguilar for the Finals against SMB. We need to have them ready for JunMar Fajardo and Standhardinger.

Sayang ang Mariano nabulok na yan. 1 Quote Link to comment

Sayang ang Mariano nabulok na yan.Kung tutuusin, bulk-wise, kayang makipagsabayan ni Raymond Aguilar sa mga bigs ng ROS. Kumpiyansa lang. 2 Quote Link to comment
daphne loves derby Posted July 17, 2018 Share Posted July 17, 2018 SMB won again convincingly last night. If we win tonight, its unavoidable - SMB vs BGSM Finals (JBL vs Balkmania) May balita na ba ke Japhet? Quote Link to comment

*kalel* Posted July 17, 2018 Share Posted July 17, 2018 Good... the additional rest day will add sa healing time nya... With all probability, smb will be the first finalist... balkman is playing great basketball... gins will need japeth in the event bgsm enters the finals... Quote Link to comment

Makakalaro ba sya bukas?i hope the extra day will help...but with or without japeth alam ko kaya natin ang RoS. just continue what ginebra's been doing during the 8 game winning streak. 1 Quote Link to comment
Kazekage.Gaara Posted July 18, 2018 Share Posted July 18, 2018 we already know that, article is 2 days old, i mean kamusta na kaya condition niya ngayon? Makakalaro ba sya bukas?Just had a quick word with Japs earlier this morning. He's not joining in scrimmage but working with Coach Kirk on the sideline on one legged conditioning exercises. Hindi na ika ika maglakad, and hindi na maga ang paa, which is a good thing. 2 Quote Link to comment
