LA Salle is holding its breath on the situation of Mason Amos after the Fil-Aussie forward suffered a hyperextended right knee in their 82-78 defeat to National U Sunday.

"He's set to undergo MRI to check on his injury. He said he heard a pop on his knee," Green Archers coach Topex Robinson told reporters after the game.
Amos went down with the injury at the 7:03 mark of the fourth quarter after Gelo Santiago inadvertently landed on his knee.
La Salle immediately brought Amos back to the dugout, with PTs fearing its something to do with his MCL.
"We're hoping he's gonna be ok and the results will turn our positive for us," said Robinson, with Amos set to undergo the procedure at Makati Medical Center.
His absence dealt a big blow to the Taft side which slipped to back-to-back losses to fall to 2-3 in the UAAP Season 88 men's basketball tournament.
The coach, though, isn't blaming anyone for the misfortune and acknowledged that it was an accident and those things happen inside the court.
"He got hit on the knee and he wasn't expecting it, but those things happen. What were hoping is a positive result from that MRI," said Robinson.
