MANILA, Philippines – The La Salle Green Archers ended their UAAP Season 85 men’s basketball Final Four bid in heartbreaking fashion with anto eventual fourth seed Adamson Soaring Falcons at the Mall of Asia Arena on Sunday, December 4.
However, before the Archers’ chapter closed with a standard ending where one team was simply better than the other, an interesting footnote was slipped in as Winston was spotted in the stands among with the fans during the Adamson game, and not on the bench where his team definitely needed him most. “No comment with that. I think in due time La Salle will come out with a statement regarding that,” said the multi-titled mentor. “Yes yes, he was cleared to train without restrictions. He was cleared to play without restrictions.”
“Thank you La Salle. I will always be an Archer at heart. Few know, but I suffered a torn calf after the first round and [I’ve] been trying to make a recovery ever since, but I guess it wasn’t quick enough. [I] wish I could have competed [tonight]. Love y’all, thanks for the support!” he wrote.
