UAAP: Lastimosa optimistic of Adamson's chances despite his injury
Adamson coach Nash Racela confirmed that star player Jerom Lastimosa will miss the rest of the UAAP Season 86 men's basketball tournament due to a complete ACL tear in his left knee.
Lastimosa had already missed the first round due to a partial tear before re-aggravating his injury during his return game on Wednesday, where he scored three points.
Racela stated that filling the void left by Lastimosa will be a collective effort from the entire team, from player number one to player number fifteen.
The Falcons, currently in fifth place with a 4-5 record, are still in contention for a Final Four spot, just a game behind fourth-place Ateneo.
Racela expressed confidence in his players' ability to rise to the challenge, emphasizing the need for them to focus on the big picture and remain positive as they are still alive in the tournament.
