Adamson guard Jerom Lastimosa has suffered a full anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) tear, it was confirmed on Sunday.
According to Adamson University athletics director Fr. Aldrin Suan, CM, the 5-foot-10 guard initially was diagnosed with a partial left knee ACL tear during a preseason tilt last summer.
Unfortunately for the Southeast Asian Games gold medalist, however, the injury was aggravated into a full tear after his knee collided with that of UP guard Gerry Abadiano during their game last Wednesday. "On our part, we just want to appreciate Jerom. There’s always a willingness on his part to play for Adamson," he said.
Suan then added that despite interest from teams overseas, Lastimosa was focused on finishing his studies and getting his diploma.
