Meralco import Josh Davis missed Game 3 of the semifinals against Rain or Shine on Tuesday night due to a left shoulder injury.

Davis hurt his shoulder during a rebound play in the third quarter in a 92-82 loss in Game 2. He finished with 25 points and 17 rebounds.

The 6-foot-7 Davis was in uniform but remained on the bench wearing a sling on his shoulder.

The Bolts, who are in danger of getting swept as they trail 2-0 in the best-of-five duel, are already without key player Jared Dillinger, who had been ruled out of the playoffs after suffering an MCL sprain in his left knee.

The 24-year-old Davis, a difference-maker on both ends of the floor, is averaging 18.0 points and 16.0 rebounds in the semifinals.
