Letran suspends star rookie Jimboy Estrada for one game
Colegio de San Juan de Letran's men's basketball team faces another setback as star player Jimboy Estrada is suspended for one game due to being ejected in their last match against Perpetual Help System DALTA.
Estrada, a rookie and frontrunner for MVP and Rookie of the Year awards, was ejected after making contact with a referee during the fourth quarter.
Letran's management attempted to appeal Estrada's suspension but were unsuccessful when the NCAA rejected their request on Tuesday.
The suspension rules now also make Estrada ineligible for end-of-season awards due to player misconduct penalties.
Estrada, who averages 15.4 points, 7.5 rebounds, and 5.4 assists per game this season, will miss Letran's upcoming match against Mapua scheduled for Friday at 2:30 p.m. in the San Juan Arena.
