Paul Harris suffered a hyperxtended right thumb fracture; Ginebra should expect the worse said team's doctor

BARANGAY Ginebra’s campaign in the PBA Governors Cup has yet to fully take off when a spate of bad news hounded the Kings once again.

Import Paul Harris suffered a hyperxtended right thumb fracture late in the third quarter of the team’s game against Globalport Batang Pier Saturday night, and prospect of him missing the entire conference looms in the horizon.

Harris hurt the thumb as he attempte to block the shot of Batang Pier counterpart Dominique Sutton with 1:03 to go in the third period and Globalport barely ahead, 61-60.

Team doctor Enrique Pagulayan said the extent of Harris’ injury is serious enough that Ginebra should expect the worse.

“We don’t want to be negative about it, but he could be out for the rest of the season,” said Pagulayan inside the Ginebra dugout. “Expect the worse.”

Coach Tim Cone also said he heard how serious the injury is, which he labeled as compound fracture.

"It would be heartbreaking should we lose him," he said of the hardworking import. -spin.ph
