Ian Sangalang now considers himself fully fit to play after going through complications related to his thyroid.
The Magnolia big man has been hampered by thyroid problems during the tail end of last season's PBA, causing him to lose a considerable amount of size and weight.
"Alam naman ng lahat kung bakit ako nawala last conference and 'yung On Tour limited lang din ako kasi hindi pa rin ako okay that time," said the left-handed power forward during the PBA's Media Day, Wednesday. Sangalang explained he suffered from hyperthyroidism, which sped up his metabolism and left him lethargic.
He got himself treated and reversed the thyroid process. This allowed him to suit up for some preseason games.
