ROMEO

By JONAS TERRADO

San Miguel Beer guard Terrence Romeo has a good chance to be ready in time for the opening of the PBA Philippine Cup despite spraining his right ankle in a recent tune-up game.

Team Gov. Robert Non said Romeo will be cleared to join regular practices next week after the Beermen guard was only diagnosed with a regular sprain sustained in an exhibition against the Alaska Aces.

Romeo’s status gave the Beermen a sigh of relief since they can’t afford to lose one of their main players with June Mar Fajardo ruled out for the whole duration of the season-opening conference due to a fractured right tibia.

Marcio Lassiter also missed last week’s mini-tournament after breaking his nose during a tune-up against Rain or Shine.

But Non said Lassiter has already rejoined SMB practices and could also be in uniform for the March 8 match against Magnolia to kick off the league’s 45th season at the Smart Araneta Coliseum in Quezon City.
