Adamson's Pingoy benched as form of 'disciplinary action'

While the Adamson Soaring Falcons managed to get its second win in UAAP Season 81 on Wednesday, it was noticeable that one of their floor generals did not play during the game.

Jerie Pingoy, who listed three points during their game against Ateneo last week, was benched during the whole game today as a form of "disciplinary action."

"Late dumating eh," Adamson Head Coach Franz Pumaren said. 

Talking to reporters, Pingoy admitted his mistake but clarified that all things are well between him and Coach Franz.

"Oo, na-late ako kasi umuwi ako sa bahay eh. Ok naman, wala namang problema sa kaniya."

Pingoy also gave an update on an injury bothering him these past few days.

"Medyo naging ano, yung plantar [fasciitis]. 'Yun yung injury ko ngayon tapos yung bone spur ko tumubo na naman. Tumutusok kasi e. 'Yun yung injury ko, tumutubo na naman," Pingoy said. He added that he will undergo surgery again after the season ends.

Despite the injury, Pingoy promised that he will come, and try not to be late, on their next game on Saturday against the UST Growling Tigers.

"Oo naman, maglalaro pa rin ako next game. Kailangan ko lang ipahinga kasi, sakit din kasi ng paa ko eh. Di naman puwedeng puro injection kasi mabubugbog paa ko eh" he added. — BAP, GMA News
