JUNE Mar Fajardo will not be present in the PBA bubble as a player or in any capacity with San Miguel.
SMB team manager Gee Abanilla on Thursday confirmed that the injured Fajardo is not part of the 25-man delegation, including 15 players, which the Beermen will be sending to the PBA bubble slated in Pampanga next month.
Since PBA as a matter of policy won't allow anyone to enter the bubble while the season is ongoing, there is no longer a chance for Fajardo to join the defending champions at any time during the short 2020 season.
Fajardo sustained a fractured tibia in his right knee last February, but has been showing progress of late in his home workouts and rehabilitation.
The progress of Fajardo can actually be seen in his YouTube channel AHOS Gaming where he gave his fans a glimpse of his road to recovery.

However, he isn't healthy enough to join the Beermen's quest for a sixth straight championship in the all-Filipino conference.
The Beermen will maintain their 1-0 win-loss card when the bubble resumes in Pampanga, having beaten Magnolia in their season debut before the season was halted by the global COVID-19 pandemic.
That victory gives SMB coach Leo Austria hope that the Beermen will be just fine without Fajardo in the bubble conference.
“We were up against Magnolia and played a good game as if we didn't miss Fajardo,” said Austria in an interview with Cignal’s Sports Page program. “The good thing is the players realized we will play without June Mar so everybody's commitment is really there.”
“The good thing with this pandemic is naging equalizer ito. Sabay-sabay tayo nag-start ng individual workout. It depends on the individual, how they prepared themselves during the pandemic,” Austria added.
