STANLEY Pringle is spared of an ACL injury but Barangay Ginebra would not yet disclose the extent of damage on the hurting knee of the prolific scoring guard.
Stanley Pringle injury update
Team manager RayBoy Rodriguez assured the injury is not ACL as initially feared.
"His ACL is intact contrary to the initial diagnosis," said Rodriguez on Monday.
An official announcement though, will be made by the Kings though as to the current health status of the 34-year-old Fil-Am guard adjudged as the Best Player of the 2020 Philippine Cup.
"Coach Tim will release an update on Stanley's injury status anytime soon," added the Ginebra team manager.
Pringle already had a knee issue as early as last year during the Clark bubble, a condition which he aggravated at practice following a collision with MJ Ayaay just before the team's second game in the PBA Governors Cup.
In the absence of Pringle, the Kings won over import-less NorthPort, and then outlasted Phoenix in overtime.
But they eventually suffered their first loss last Christmas, a 117-94 blowout at the hands of rival Magnolia Hotshots.
Pringle played his only game this conference against Alaska which the Kings won, 80-77, and where he finished with just seven points.
