JEROM Lastimosa made his highly-anticipated UAAP Season 86 debut for Adamson in a game against the league-leading UP Maroons on Wednesday night.
After turning down offers to play abroad, the Falcons guars sufferd a partial ACL tear and sat out the entire first round of his final UAAP year.
He was back in time for the final stretch of the season.
A brief tribute video was shown moments before Lastimosa entered the game off the bench at the 2:10 mark of the opening quarter.
And at the 9:17 mark of the second quarter shortly after, Lastimosa made his first field goal from three-point range to hit the ground running in his UAAP comeback.
With his No. 7 now retired by the university, the new-look King Falcon looks to finish his collegiate career on a winning note for his Final Four-seeking Adamson side.
