FORTHSKY Padrigao is expected to suit up for University of Santo Tomas for its all-important matchup against Far Eastern University on Sunday.
Team insiders bared to SPIN.ph that the lead guard is cleared to play following his sprained left ankle in the Espana side's game against the University of the Philippines last Wednesday.
He exited at the 4:44 mark of the third period, but did not return, as the Growling Tigers suffered a slim 89-88 loss to fall to their fourth straight defeat in UAAP Season 88 to go down to an even 5-5 record.
Team PTs shared that the swelling on his foot has subsided and Padrigao is ready to brave on if the need arises in that contest against the Tamaraws.
