Jeremiah Gray update
Terrafirma says it can't wait long for Jeremiah Gray.
JEREMIAH Gray could be out much longer than expected, and Terrafirma decided it won’t be able to wait.
Team manager Ronald Tubid explained Terrafirma's decision to arrange the trade with Ginebra, saying they learned about some details in Gray’s timetable for return only after the 2022 PBA Draft on Sunday.
Gray, who suffered a knee injury playing for TNT in the PBA 3x3, was projected to return in October, when the league is in its second conference.
Terrafirma said that is an optimistic estimate.
“Isang taon pala mawawala, e,” said Tubid. “Binilang kasi namin kung kelan siya inoperahan. So five months na, kaya pinaka-late niyang balik October, second conference yun.”
But even if Gray returns in the country by October, there’s no guarantee he would play immediately.
“Magpapa-check pa kasi yun. So ang eligible talaga for him to play is by February pa,” said Tubid.
Now the Dyip have made an offer to the eighth pick Javi Gomez de Liano as they try to be competitive in Season 47. The trade also included Brian Enriquez. Terrafirma went 4-7 in last season’s Philippine Cup and 2-9 in the Governors’ Cup.
