May 6, 2024 07:08 AMTNT head coach Chot Reyes expressed his concerns about the nagging injuries of his veterans in Jayson Castro and Kelly Williams especially ahead of a looming clash against a formidable Rain or Shine team in the quarterfinals.
“The only way we can compete with them is if we have everyone on board. We have a few days for Kelly to be 100 percent. I hope Jayson is not too banged up,” said Reyes. Reyes shared that Williams has been dealing with back spasms, an issue that sidelined the 42-year-old forward in the crucial loss to Converge last time out, while Castro is playing through jumper’s knee or patellar tendinopathy over the last four games of TNT.
Castro powered through the pain and finished with 18 points, none bigger than the last six which kept Magnolia at bay in the waning minutes while Williams had 19 points and eight rebounds to pace TNT.
