Jeremiah Gray suffers dislocated knee
DOCTORS have been able to put Jeremiah Gray’s dislocated right knee back in place and are evaluating the damage to the ligaments.
Gray suffered the knee injury in the third period of Ginebra’s final game in the PBA on Tour. The Gin Kings won over the NLEX Road Warriors.
“No decisions have been made yet about surgery,” said coach Tim Cone.
Before entering the PBA Draft last year, Gray suffered a torn ACL in his left knee during a PBA 3x3 game for TNT.
