San Beda University will not be having one of its lead guards for NCAA Season 98.
JV Gallego underwent knee surgery just recently, effectively ending his season.
The 5-foot-10 scoring guard played in the 2022 Filoil Ecooil Preseason Cup and the inaugural Pinoyliga Cup.
However, a nagging knee injury bothered him after the tournaments. And once it was checked, San Beda’s medical team advised him to undergo a procedure.
Gallego averaged 4.27 points, 1.91 rebounds, and 1.55 assists in his first season with the Red Lions last season.
The 24-year-old will still have one more year of eligibility.
Also out for San Beda is Rhayann Amsali as he is taking a basketball sabbatical.
In San Beda’s lineup are James Canlas, JB Bahio, Tony Ynot, Justine Sanchez, Yukien Andrada, Peter Alfaro, Gab Cometa, Jacob Cortez, Clifford Jopia, Damie Cuntapay, Cyrus Llarena, Ralph Penuela, Emmanuel Tagle, Joshua Tagala, Alex Visser, Aljay Alloso, Rafael Jalbuena, and James Payosing.
San Beda will open its campaign against Mapua University on Saturday at 6:00 PM.
