Manlapaz's return boosts Adamson in do-or-die match

Adamson's AP Manlapaz had a breakout performance with 22 points against Ateneo despite playing sparingly due to knee injury.

Manlapaz's return is timely as Adamson faces La Salle in a do-or-die match for the last Final Four spot on Sunday.

Both teams are dealing with injuries, with La Salle missing key players like Schonny Winston and Adamson struggling with Manlapaz, Magbuhos, and Lastimosa's health.
