“Nevertheless, we are glad with the initial MRI results,” said Abanilla. “But I would rather wait for the medical diagnosis to be accurate,” he added.

With around eight minutes left in the fourth quarter of the Beermen’s season opener against the Meralco Bolts on Sunday night, Romeo had to be helped off the court after placing his foot incorrectly and twisting his ankle.

He grasped his left knee right away and was finally assisted back to the San Miguel dugout.

Despite the fact that the Beermen were defeated, 93-87, Romeo led the team in scoring with 18 points.

According to Abanilla, an official diagnosis is expected on Tuesday.
