All-Star roster update
GABE Norwood, Calvin Oftana, Jio Jalalon and Alex Cabagnot have been elevated to the PBA All-Star squads.
The four, among the top top reserves after the voting period, have been tapped as replacements for LA Tenorio, Terrence Romeo and Mikey Williams, who cannot see action in the game set on March 12 in Iloilo due to injuries.
Also out injured is All-Star team captain Japeth Aguilar.
It remains uncertain whether Roger Pogoy, sidelined with a bone bruise in his right foot, would be able to suit up.
