REY Nambatac will be sidelined for four to six weeks after sustaining a pulled groin in their PBA Philippine Cup campaign.
The ballclub announced Nambatac’s absence owing to the groin injury that he suffered last week in TNT’s game against Meralco.

Nambatac’s loss comes as a dampener on a week when TNT overcome its early struggles by coming up with three straight wins to even their record at 3-3.
Nambatac is also coming off a performance in the PBA Commissioner’s Cup where he was named as the Finals MVP.
TNT coach Chot Reyes already described Nambatac’s absence as a “very big” loss shortly after TNT came away with the victory over Meralco.
TNT’s backcourt is already without Jayson Castro due to a ruptured right patellar tendon that ruled him out for the rest of the season.
Nambatac is averaging 12.2 points, 3.3 rebounds, and 3.7 assists for the Tropang 5G this conference.
