Roger Pogoy called up as replacement for Tyler Tio in PBA All-Star


ANTIPOLO – Roger Pogoy leads the cast of replacements called up for the much-awaited PBA All-Star Bacolod 2024 next weekend.

The TNT gunner will be taking the spot of Tyler Tio in Team Japeth Aguilar as the Phoenix main man continues to recover from a slight ankle fracture.

Set for his fifth All-Star stint, Pogoy will join Christian Standhardinger, Paul Lee, Calvin Oftana, Jamie Malonzo, Chris Newsome, Don Trollano, Marcio Lassiter, Arvin Tolentino, Maverick Ahanmisi, Stanley Pringle, and Terrence Romeo.2024-PBA-Philippine-Cup-Ginebra-vs-Rain-or-Shine-Scottie-Thompson-scaled Roger Pogoy called up as replacement for Tyler Tio in PBA All-Star Basketball News PBA  - philippine sports news

Scottie Thompson is no longer listed in the Team Japeth lineup but the 2021 league MVP will still be joining the festivities in the City of Smiles.

They’ll take on the team of Mark Barroca in the All-Star Weekend’s main event set March 24 at the University of St. La Salle Coliseum.2024-PBA-Philippine-Cup-Rain-or-Shine-vs-San-Miguel-Santi-Santillan-scaled Roger Pogoy called up as replacement for Tyler Tio in PBA All-Star Basketball News PBA  - philippine sports news

Meanwhile, Rain or Shine winger Santi Santillan will be busier in Bacolod as he takes the place of teammate Keith Datu in skills challenges.

With the Fil-Am rookie out for several weeks due to a sprained medial collateral ligament, the La Salle product will instead compete in his place in the Obstacle Challenge as well as in the Three-Point Shootout featuring big men.

Taking Datu’s spot in the Rookies-Sophomores-Juniors Game, on the other hand, is Blackwater rookie Christian David.

The second overall pick of the 2023 Rookie Draft will be joining Team Stalwarts, which also has Santillan, no, 1 pick Stephen Holt, Fran Yu, Adrian Nocum, Kim Aurin, JM Calma, Joshua Munzon, Anton Asistio, and Keith Zaldivar.

Kyt Jimenez won’t see action after suffering a freak accident but no word yet from the league if it will bring in a replacement for the San Miguel rookie.
