Rain or Shine will be another man short for the rest of the PBA Philippine Cup.
Already with an ailing frontcourt, the Elasto Painters suffered a tough blow in their guard rotation with Felix Lemetti ruled out for the rest of the season.
The Fil-Swede guard suffered a fracture on his left hand during practice, the team said through its official social media pages on Tuesday.
Rain or Shine made the announcement a day before their meeting against the also-ran Terrafirma at the Philsports Arena in Pasig.
It’s a game in which Coach Yeng Guiao & Co. are looking to boost their Top Four bid but will have to make do without one of their point guards.
The Elasto Painters are currently at 5-3 with some help from Lemetti, who was averaging 6.3 points, 3.1 rebounds, and 3.6 assists in 18 minutes.
Now, the rookie playmaker has become the latest addition to the team’s injury list, which already has Beau Belga (vertigo) and Luis Villegas (ACL).
