    CLARK FREEPORT — WIll he or will he not.

    LA Tenorio will be in his Barangay Ginebra jersey on Sunday night when the Kings tangle with the NLEX Road Warriors in the main game of the PBA Philippine Cup season restart at the Angeles University Foundation gym

    But whether he plays or not is the big question mark.

    At stake in the 6:45 p.m. game — a victory and Tenorio's long-standing record for most number of consecutive games played at 641.

    The 36-year-old Tenorio enters the league bubble just two weeks removed from a laparoscopic appendectomy.

    Coach Tim Cone confirmed Tenorio already got the doctor's clearance to play, although his game condition remains suspect.

    "Being in game shape is a big concern," said Cone.

    Tenorio, the PBA's certified Iron Man, disclosed the doctor will still take a close look at him hours before the game.

    "Titignan pa siya ulit. Bahala na," he curtly replied.

    But there are talks within the team, Tenorio may likely be played briefly to as long as five minutes to allow him a feel of the court, and yes, to keep his Iron Man record going.

    The veteran guard is mum about it, but he's keeping his fingers crossed the streak won't be broken.

    "Sana nga huwag maputol," he said.
