    Stanley Pringle injury

    Tim Cone, Stanley PringleStanley Pringle hurt his knee in practice.

    EXPERTS are doing further examination on Stanley Pringle’s knee and Barangay Ginebra is hoping that an ACL tear is ruled out.

    Pringle did not see action in Ginebra’s game against Northport after hurting his knee in practice on Monday.

    The initial diagnosis was an ACL tear, but according to Ginebra coach Tim Cone the interpretation was different upon second look at the MRI prints.

    "The initial one (diagnosis) and it struck my heart, he had an ACL," said Cone. "And then they had another look at it, and they're saying they don't believe it's an ACL injury."

    Pringle is set for another MRI.

    TROY Rosario has been working out but not yet part of TNT’s full team practices.

    The injuries he sustained in the Philippine Cup finals did not require surgery, but he is not expected to see action with the Tropang Giga in the PBA Govenors’ Cup until mid-January.

    The TNT forward suffered spinal shock and a dislocated finger in a bad fall after being fouled by Magnolia’s Jackson Corpuz in the Game Three of the Philippine Cup finals. Rosario played the next game and the title clincher despite the injuries, but has not seen action in the Governors’ Cup.

    The Tropang Giga hold a 1-1 win-loss card.

    "Hindi ako nagpa-practice. Nagwo-work out ako pero hindi masyado dahil hindi ako makapagbuhat ng mabigat," he added. "Parang pahinga na nagpapalakas."

    Ginebra goes 2-0
