TNT is holding high hopes that another injury could be avoided after Poy Erram went down in the second half of Wednesday’s PBA Philippine Cup Finals.

HIGHLIGHTS: PBA Philippine Cup Finals Game 2 – San Miguel vs TNT

Erram was seen leaving the venue on a wheelchair due to an injured right leg during the third quarter of the Tropang 5G’s 98-92 loss to the San Miguel Beermen in Game 2 at Smart Araneta Coliseum.

“I’ll undergo an X-ray tomorrow,” Erram told a few reporters in Filipino while being wheeled to his car.

The Tropang 5G can’t afford to have another player potentially sidelined or playing below 100 percent, a recurring theme throughout the conference.

Jayson Castro and Rey Nambatac were not in TNT’s playoff roster due to earlier ailments while Calvin Oftana and Jordan Heading have yet to sit out games despite dealing with their own injuries.

RR Pogoy and veteran Kelly Williams, on the other hand, recently returned from missing a game or two during the tailend of TNT’s semifinal series against Rain or Shine.

Erram had six points, two rebounds, three assists and three blocks in 15 minutes before the injury.

Brandon Ganuelas-Rosser may have to make a double effort in manning the middle for TNT regardless of Erram’s status the rest of the way.
