La Salle’s Andrada down with ACL tear anew
MANILA, Philippines—Yutien Andrada, La Salle’s lanky forward, is sidelined with another anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) tear.
Andrada went down badly and had to be carried out of the floor by his teammates early in La Salle’s 70-64 win over Lyceum Friday in the 2013 Filoil Flying V Pre-Season Cup.
The Green Archers’ head coach Gee Abanilla confirmed the prognosis of Andrada’s injury in a text message to INQUIRER.net.
