‘Dedicated’ Adamson star Jerom Lastimosa delays ACL surgery
Adamson Falcons star guard Jerom Lastimosa suffered a full ACL tear in his left knee during a game against the UP Fighting Maroons on Wednesday, October 25.
This injury was aggravated from a partial tear he sustained during a preseason game last summer.
His MRI results on Saturday confirmed the season-ending injury, with the official confirmation received by the university on Saturday night.
Adamson athletic director Fr. Aldrin Suan stated that the university was aware of the partial tear and closely monitored Lastimosa's medical condition.
Despite the season-ending injury, Lastimosa has decided to delay surgery until after the season so he can remain with the team and sing the school hymn with the community after their last game.
He will focus on recovery and his basketball return, with Suan expressing confidence in his complete recovery and future basketball career.
