A SWOLLEN right kept June Mar Fajardo from joining national team practice on Thursday, the Gilas Pilipinas big man reduced to the role of spectator.
The national team cornerstone showed up at Meralco gym but sat on the sideline this time after taking part in all sessions since Gilas resumed training last week.

Fajardo was quick to play down the iniury.
"Pahinga lang naman, okay na ako," the San Miguel Beer stalwart assured. "Hindi naman malala."
