    Sports news June 22

    Gilas flies to Europe with 12 players

    Gilas Pilipinas flew to Europe on Thursday night with only 12 players to start training camp in Estonia due to injuries.

    Add Ray Parks and Jordan Heading to the injury list on the 21-man national pool as they have yet to join the practices.

    TNT gunners Roger Pogoy and Calvin Oftana earlier begged off the European trip owing to their own injuries.

    Only Japeth Aguilar, Chris Newsome, Scottie Thompson, June Mar Fajardo, Jamie Malonzo, Kiefer Ravena, Dwight Ramos, Thirdy Ravena, Poy Erram, AJ Edu, Rhenz Abando, and CJ Perez departed for Europe as Gilas plays a series of tune-up games in its buildup for the Fiba World Cup.

    Mark Nonoy sacrifice pays off as La Salle takes Game One

    Mark Nonoy made a personal sacrifice that benefitted his team as La Salle rolled past Marinerong Pilipino-San Beda, 108-82, in Game One of the PBA D-League Aspirants Cup Finals at the Ynares Sports Arena in Pasig City.

    The Green Archers star point guard had to miss the first birthday and baptism of his son in Iloilo to suit up and help his team move on the verge of closing out the best-of-three series.

    Nonoy fired four treys and scored 14 of his 16 points in the first half to set the tone for the Green Archers' blowout victory.

    "Dagdag motivation na lang sa akin yun," Nonoy said as he offered his game to his son.
