Injured Ross ruled out of 2nd half of Game 3 vs Ginebra

Chris Ross will sit out the second half of Game 3 of the 2018 PBA Philippine Cup semifinals between defending champion San Miguel Beer and Barangay Ginebra on Tuesday night.

Ross, the Beermen star, was dealing with a strained right thigh, as reported by ESPN5’s Selina Dagdag. The 33-year-old Ross, who was the Finals MVP in the last two editions of the all-Filipino conference, had six points, five rebounds, three assists and a steal in 16 minutes of action in the first half. As of posting time, the Gin Kings were able to capitalize on Ross’ absence after extending their six-point halftime lead to 14, 79-65, at the end of the third quarter.
