In a welcome news for Gilas Pilipinas, combo guard Jayson Castro was spared of a major injury on his fall during their game against Euzkadi-Basque team Wednesday night in San Sebastian, Spain.
Gilas Pilipinas assistant coach Josh Reyes reported on his Twitter account that the result of Castro’s MRI test showed no structural damage on the player’s right foot.
Reyes, however, said there’s still swelling in Castro’s Achilles.
To speed up Castro’s recovery, doctors immobilized the player’s foot in a soft cast.
The Talk n Text stalwart is expected to sit out their next warm-up games for the 2014 FIBA World Cup that kicks off Aug. 30.
Castro has been battling various injuries for a while now, and it’s the reason why he wasn’t able to play in the Gilas Pilipinas-France setto.
Versus Euzkadi-Basque, Castro was limited to 11 minutes of playing as he went down with the ankle injury.
Groping for form as of late, Gilas Pilipinas has three more tune-up games to find a good rhythm and get into the groove before plunging into action in the world meet versus Croatia on Aug. 30 in Seville.
Gilas goes up against Angola in a practice match in San Sebastian today then moves over to Guadalajara for friendlies versus Dominican Republic Monday and Egypt the following day. Cancelled was a tune-up match versus Mexico.
Harder hit by injuries is another Asian team South Korea.
Bracketed with Angola, Australia, Lithuania, Mexico and Slovenia in Group D in the world meet, the Koreans will be without ace guard Kim Mingoo and big man Lee Seung Jun, who averaged 20.6 points, 8.1 rebounds and 3.5 assists together in the 2013 FIBA Asia Championship in Manila.
Kim is recovering from injuries sustained in a car accident while Lee is fighting his way back from an ankle injury.
Taking over from Lee is naturalized player Jarod Stevenson.
It’s uncertain whether Kim and Lee will be ready to return in the 2014 Asian Games set to start Sept. 20 in Incheon, Korea. (SB)
