JEREMIAH Gray went down with a dislocated knee during the Ginebra-NLEX PBA On Tour game on Sunday night at the Ynares Sports Arena in Pasig.
Coach Tim Cone confirmed the injury after personally accompanying the sophomore guard to the Medical City hospital shortly after the incident that occurred late in the third period.

“Jeremiah had a dislocated knee. The doctors were able to put the knee back in place and straighten it,” said the two-time grand slam coach, who took time off from his Gilas Pilipinas duty to watch the final game of the preseason.
Initially, the injury was suspected to be another ACL case for the 26-year-old Gray, who suffered the knee injury in 2021 following an awkward landing after a dunk while playing in the PBA 3x3 for TNT.
Gray, the No. 2 overall pick in last year’s draft, did surgery and rehab in the US before returning to the country and began playing for Ginebra in the Commissioner’s Cup.
Cone said the shooting guard is still being evaluated if surgery is necessary.

“They are now in the process of evaluating the ligaments surrounding the knee,” said the Ginebra mentor. “No decisions have been made yet about surgery.”
