Lyceum player JM Bravo recovering from concussion after head collision

Lyceum of the Philippines University player JM Bravo is recovering from a concussion and convulsion after an accidental head collision with Arellano University's Renzo Abiera during an NCAA Season 100 game on Saturday, October 19.

Bravo was stretchered off the court and rushed to Cardinal Santos Medical Center for a CT scan after losing consciousness in the final seconds of the match; he has since been discharged from the hospital but will rest for one week as a precautionary measure.

Hercules Callanta, Lyceum's management committee chair, confirmed that Bravo is responding well to treatment and will be monitored under concussion protocol for 48 hours before being cleared to play.

Bravo's teammate John Barba defended his actions of shaking Bravo's head after the collision, explaining he was panicking at seeing his teammate convulse on social media.

Lyceum suffered a double blow with both their star player's injury and a loss in the game against Arellano University, 86-91; Bravo's absence will be significant as Lyceum faces crucial games against College of St. Benilde and Perpetual Help in the Final Four race.
