PBA: Ginebra optimistic of chances despite Malonzo and Tenorio's exit, Aguilar's injury
Barangay Ginebra is facing significant challenges heading into the PBA season, including the departure of key players and an injury to Japeth Aguilar.
Jamie Malonzo has moved to play in Japan, and LA Tenorio is now with rival team Magnolia, leaving voids in the Ginebra lineup.
Japeth Aguilar will miss the early part of the Philippine Cup due to surgery on his left finger, an injury he has been managing for over a year.
Coach Tim Cone acknowledged the loss of Malonzo's presence and Tenorio's leadership, noting that Stephen Holt is stepping up into a leadership role.
The Gin Kings are aiming to rebound after two Finals losses to TNT and a semifinal defeat to San Miguel in the previous Philippine Cup.
Aguilar's surgery was postponed to accommodate his participation in the FIBA Asia Cup with Gilas Pilipinas.
