San Miguel is facing a dilemma with import Jordan Adams’ hamstring injury as they head into the PBA Governors’ Cup playoffs. Coach Jorge Gallent announced an emergency meeting for the coaching staff on Sunday to discuss the best course of action. “We need to talk about it tomorrow and assess the situation. Hamstring injuries are tricky,” Gallent mentioned on Saturday. Adams, 30, hurt his hamstring early in the fourth quarter during a loss to the Rain or Shine Elasto Painters. After a medical evaluation on Friday, the doctor warned him that playing could lead to a tear, which is a risk the team cannot take.
Adams, 30, hurt his hamstring at the start of the fourth quarter during the Beermen’s defeat to the Rain or Shine Elasto Painters. After a check-up on Friday, he learned about his condition. “The doctor warned him that playing could lead to a tear, and we can’t risk that,” Gallent stated.
Adams missed San Miguel’s last group stage game on Saturday, where they fell to Blackwater, 111-94, ending with a 6-4 record. The San Miguel coach emphasized that any decision to release Adams should be a collective agreement among the Beermen. “If we decide to make a change, it must be unanimous—no more 80 or 90 percent. If we change, it’s a definitive 100 percent yes. There will be no ‘what if’ scenarios,” Gallent stressed.
