TYRUS Hill is out for Blackwater for the remainder of the PBA On Tour.
Deputy coach Joe Silva said a strained ligament in his hand continues to sideline the high-flying Fil-Am.
Hill has been playing with the injury the past three weeks.

“He needs another two to three weeks. I don’t think he’ll play the last two games,” said Silva following Blackwater’s 89-82 victory over Meralco on Friday night at the Ynares Sports Arena.
“So based sa timeline, I don’t think so.”
The 27-year-old Hill injured the finger during the team’s game against Barangay Ginebra, according to Silva.
He has since missed the Bossing’s last three games, although the injured hand needed no surgery, just complete rest.
“But he’s getting better,” said Silva of Hill, who watches Blackwater games in street clothes.
Hill’s last game against Ginebra showed him ripping his jersey apart after missing two crucial free throws with no time left as Blackwater lost in overtime, 81-80.
