    POY Erram and Scottie Thompson were both present in Gilas Pilipinas' Monday night practice, but didn't join the two-hour scrimmage at the Meralco gym.

    Thompson continues to rehab the metacarpal fracture he suffered during the team's European training camp, although he can already dribble a basketball and at some point, try to join the team's shootaround using his left hand.

    WATCH:

    Erram on the other hand, again watched the action from the sidelines, but stressed he's not been dealing with any injuries.

    "Pahinga lang ako. Pero wala akong injury," said the TNT center, adding long-time national team physical therapist Dexter Aseron can attest to that.

    Aseron though, said there's just some minor swelling on the knee of Eram that needs to be rested.

    There were also reports naturalized player Justin Brownlee hurt his ankle in practice last week.

    The Barangay Ginebra import was no longer around when members of the press were finally allowed inside the practice venue, but coach Chot Reyes said Brownlee was present during the practice.

    "Kanina nandiyan siya, umalis lang," said Reyes. "But we're just making him do light stuff."
