Yu was caught throwing an elbow at Gozum’s teammate Mark Sangco with 5:29 left within the second interval of Game 2 of their best-of-three finals sequence final December 11, which merited an ejection and an automated suspension within the subsequent sport.
Letran tried to attraction Yu’s case, however the league upheld its resolution which made that sport the final one for the graduating Yu.
But Gozum, who alongside Yu represented the nation in numerous competitions throughout their youth, mentioned the latter meant no hurt as he was simply defending himself through the heated sport.
“Kay Kuya Fran, siguro dinefend niya lang ‘yung sarili niya kasi championship eh, iba ‘yung atmosphere,” Gozum mentioned.
“Talagang all out lahat eh so feel ko ayun lang ‘yung ginawa ni kuya Fran. Feel ko para sa team ‘yun.”
Yu, who did not converse on the matter pending the results of the attraction, will miss the all-important do-or-die Game 3 this Sunday the place the Knights will shoot for a three-peat championship with out their chief.
