Titan Ultra rookie Bryan Sajonia underwent surgery on his left ACL almost two weeks after getting hurt in a PBA Governors’ Cup game against San Miguel Beer.
The Giant Risers posted a photo of Sajonia being flanked by team manager Jessica Arsalon and physical therapist Reez Jacinto following the procedure that took place on Tuesday.
‘The procedure was successful, and Bryan will now begin his recovery and rehabilitation,’ the Giant Risers said. ‘We also wish to clarify that the surgery was specifically for Bryan’s left ACL and lateral meniscus injury.’
Sajonia sustained the injury during the third quarter of Titan Ultra’s 143-113 loss on Aug. 12 at Ynares Center in Antipolo, when his left knee buckled during a fastbreak play.
It was a major setback for Sajonia, who has been one of the bright spots amid the Giant Risers’ struggles throughout the 50th season.
The injury also came a day after NLEX import DeQuan Jones broke his right leg in a game against TNT at the same venue.
Jones has since undergone two surgeries at Cardinal Santos Medical Center.
Before Sajonia’s injury, Titan Ultra was already shorthanded with an injury suffered by fellow rookie Mark Omega due to a scary fall against Macau
