MANILA Philippines-San Miguel Beer is happy to have Don Trollano join an already loaded lineup decimated by injuries in the ongoing PBA Commissioner’s Cup.
“A Don Trollano is definitely a welcome addition to our lineup, especially with all the injury woes we are currently experiencing,” team manager Gee Abanilla said on Monday, hours after the PBA Commissioner’s Cup approved the three-team swap with NorthPort and NLEX .
Trollano landed in the Beermen camp shortly after the Road Warriors shipped him to Batang Pier in exchange for Robert Bolick.
The move comes after San Miguel fell to 3-3 with two straight losses, including Sunday’s 94-90 setback against undefeated Magnolia at the Philsports Arena in Pasig City.
San Miguel will be without June Mar Fajardo, Terrence Romeo, Jeron Teng, Simon Enciso and Vic Manuel, and having Trollano would ease some of the pressure on healthy players like veterans Marcio Lassiter and Chris Ross, as well as Jericho Cruz and CJ Perez .
“Don is a veteran two-way player and so we are very excited to see how he can contribute to our team,” said Abanilla.
The trade also reunites Trollano with Cruz and Brondial, former teammates at Adamson, and active consultant Leo Austria, who handled the unassuming wingman during his earlier UAAP days with the Falcons.
“Therefore, we are optimistic that his adjustment will be smooth and quick,” the Beermen official said.
