Greg Slaughter, Barangay Ginebra’s star center, could be out for the rest of the season.

Barangay Ginebra is bracing for the worst as Gin Kings head coach Tim Cone fears that Greg Slaughter may have just tore his ACL after sustaining an injury in the fourth quarter of the team’s 93-86 win over Mahindra on Friday.

“Greg’s injury, unfortunately, seems to be an ACL tear,” Cone said in a text message Monday afternoon.

“We have not received an official word from Dr. (Raul) Canlas, but initial findings from the MRI point to an ACL tear. Once we get an official diagnosis, we will sit down with Greg and the doctors and determine the proper course of action and whether surgery will be needed.”

The 7-foot center had an MRI immediately after the Gin Kings’ game on Friday as he was rushed to St. Luke’s Medical Center in Quezon City.
