Teammates say Marc Pingris’ return won’t disrupt Star’s chemistry

Marc Pingris’ Star Hotshots teammates believe that the return of the veteran forward will not disrupt the team’s chemistry in the Oppo PBA Governors’ Cup where they are currently enjoying an unbeaten streak of four games.

For swingman Allein Maliksi, Pingris’ leadership will be a big factor as they make their push for the playoffs.

“Si Ping naman leader ng team namin. Hindi malaking problem. I don’t think makakagulo siya kapag pumasok siya sa team kasi alam naman niya role niya. Hindi naman siya matakaw sa tira, sa opensa, kasi defense talaga si Ping. Isang malaking asset si Ping pagbalik niya sa amin,” Maliksi told InterAksyon

It will just be a matter of time before Pingris, who returned to action last Wednesday after being sidelined with a hip injury for six months, integrates himself back into the team, according to Aldrech Ramos.

“OK naman na si Ping. Ilang days na siyang nakakasama sa practice. Then, nakapaglaro naman na siya kahit saglit. Little by little. Beterano na naman si Kuya Ping eh. Matagal na siya sa Purefoods. Alam mniya kung kelan siya dapat pumasok,” he said.
