THERE'S still a glimmer of hope for Allyn Bulanadi to be able to play for Gilas Pilipinas in the second window of the 2021 Fiba Asia Cup qualifiers in Bahrain.
But it all depends on his performance in the team's next two practices.
Gilas coach Jong Uichico said that the situation of the Davaoeno gunner depends on how he will fare in the national team's training sessions this weekend.
"We have to see how he will perform in our next practices," he said.
Bulanadi suffered a dislocated right shoulder during Gilas' training at Inspire Sports Academy in Calamba two weeks ago.
Despite his injury, the 6-foot-2 Davaoeno was still included in the trip with the 15-man pool.
Bulanadi is arguably one of Gilas' best shooters, and it will come in handy, especially after the Philippines went 10-of-31, good for 32-percent, in its 93-61 victory over Thailand on Friday.
The two nations collide once again on Monday, the second of the two-game series and the final assignment for Gilas in this window.
