GJERARD Wilson's rookie year for University of the East in UAAP Season 86 officially came to an end as he returned to the US on Friday.
According to UE head coach Jack Santiago, a series of medical assessments and the request of Wilson's parents led to the 6-foot-1 guard's early departure to undergo shoulder surgery.
