Paul Lee, who has yet to log a minute in the 2016 PBA Commissioner’s Cup, is leaving everything up to coach Yeng Guiao.

But if he gets the clearance, the Tondo dribbler might just suit up for Rain or Shine in time for Friday’s game against San Miguel.

“Depende na yan kay coach,” Lee quipped.

He has been out of action since Game 5 of the Philippine Cup semis, which the Elasto Painters lost to the Beermen.

Lee has been recovering from the knee injury he got last year, which was aggravated in the semis. He suited for five games last conference, but a swelling on his knee deemed him ineligible for that all-important Game 6 tussle against San Miguel.

He returned to full on-court practice on Monday.

Lee may not be the only debuting Elasto Painter for that game against the Beermen, as Rain or Shine is set to debut new import Mo Charlo to replace underperforming Antoine Wright.
