00:00 Bad news for the TNT Tropang Giga fans.
00:02 Sweet shooting forward Roger R.R. Pogoy will be out of commission for at least six months
00:09 due to myocarditis, which is a rare heart disease.
00:13 The 31-year-old Cebuano dribbler was supposed to be part of GILAS Pilipinas that competed and won
00:20 the gold during the 19th Asian Games, but Pogoy collapsed while he was preparing to attend the
00:26 team's first practice last month. Subsequent medical tests revealed Pogoy's condition that
00:32 requires him to miss TNT's campaign in the upcoming PBA Commissioners' Cup. Pogoy has
00:39 averaged 17.6.4 rebounds and two assists in last season's Commissioners' Cup, something which the
00:47 Tropang Gigas will sorely miss at the 48th season of the PBA opens on November 5.
