Gozum, who was topped the highest participant within the current NCAA Season 98 basketball event, is anticipated to be out for 2 or three months.

Tiu added that as of now, Gozum hasn’t decided but relating to his return to Benilde with the participant having one enjoying yr left within the collegiate ranks.

“[As for] Will, we’re still waiting for his decision if he will decide to stay with us. He has a fractured hand so he’s out for about two or three more months. Abang abang lang kami, we also don’t know,” Tiu mentioned after their 94-83 win over Arellano University on Monday.

(“Will, we’re still waiting for his decision if he will decide to stay with us. He has a fractured hand so he’s out for about two or three more months. We’re just waiting, we also don’t know.”)

Aside from Gozum, Miggy Corteza can be out for Benilde as a consequence of a quad harm. But Corteza, a key cog of their runner-up end final season, is tipped to return quickly as his quad harm is not as severe.
