Ginebra star guard LA Tenorio once again proves himself a warrior through and through, having reportedly overcome Stage 3 colon cancer
MANILA, Philippines – Philippine basketball fans around the world have reason to celebrate on Tuesday, September 19, as Barangay Ginebra captain LA Tenorio is now reportedly cancer-free, according to head coach Tim Cone.
“He’s finished with all of his chemo sessions, he’s been declared cancer-free, and they told him that within days, he can start practicing. In three or four days, he can return to practice.” The 38-year-old veteran last made a significant impact in the Gin Kings’ title-winning 2022 Commissioner’s Cup, before quietly fading down the rotation in the succeeding Governors’ Cup and eventually breaking his legendary 17-year, “Iron Man” streak of 744 straight games.
