    BARANGAY Ginebra's Game 1 win over NLEX cost the Gin Kings one key player as big man Japeth Aguilar went down with a calf injury.

    Coach Tim Cone confirmed the 6-foot-9 Aguilar went down with the injury at the end of the Kings' 95-86 victory over the Road Warriors to open their PBA Governors Cup semifinals series at the MOA Arena.

    "It put a damper on our win," said Cone.

    Aguilar finished with four points and five rebounds before heading to the bench. He still played briefly in the third quarter before going out for good at the 10:43 mark with Ginebra trailing by just a single point, 47-46.

    Cone said Aguilar initially hurt his calf in the Kings' do-or-die game against TNT Tropang Giga last Saturday.

    "In the second TNT game, somebody kicked him in the calf," Cone recalled. "And there's a bruise on the muscle and it weakens the muscle."

    "We don't know how long, or when he will be back in the series or what at this point. Calf injury is really delicate," stressed the Ginebra mentor.
