Cabagnot returns
Terrafirma gets a big lift with the return of Alex Cabagnot.
ALEX Cabagnot is gearing up for his comeback after a long injury layoff.
The 39-year-old Cabagnot, out for nine months, has joined Terrafirma tuneup games ahead of the PBA Commissioner’s Cup.
Coach Johnedel Cardel said Cabagnot seems to have regained top form.
“Parang hindi siya nagkaroon ng injury. Sabi ko nga sa kanya, ingat ingat din siya. Alalay naman siya.”
Terrafirma takes on Converge on Friday on opening day.
Cabagnot has played only four games with the Dyip after the transfer from San Miguel in November 2021 and his return is expected to be a big boost for the team that has lost 16 straight games.
