BAY Area import Andrew Nicholson headed straight to the hospital after going down with an injury late in the Dragons' 89-82 loss to Barangay Ginebra on Wednesday night in the PBA Commissioner's Cup finals.
The 6-foot-10 Nicholson was taken out of the Mall of Asia Arena on a wheelchair and brought straight to the hospital to check on his leg which he hurt after stepping on the foot of Ginebra's Jamie Malonzo in a rebound play.

Nicholson could be doubtful for Game 4 set on Friday, according to the team.
"We're going to the hospital now to check on Andrew. We don't know yet if he can play on Friday," said Bay Area team manager Maya Montecillo.
Nicholson hurt his left ankle after stepping on the foot of Barangay Ginebra's Jamie Malonzo as they go for the rebound in the final 34 seconds and the Kings in the midst of their huge fourth quarter comeback and leading, 85-79.
The former NBA player was grimacing in pain while being treated at the Bay Area bench during a timeout.
He was later carried to the dugout ahead of everybody and never returned to the game.
Nicholson finished with 23 points and 24 rebounds while hitting 62 percent of his shots from the floor (10-of-16).
