Will RR Pogoy return to action for TNT in Game 3 of PBA Finals vs San Miguel?

RR Pogoy participated in warmups before Game 2 of the PBA Season 50 Philippine Cup Finals, indicating progress in his recovery from a hamstring injury. He later stated he is targeting a return for Game 3 or 4 of the series.

The TNT Tropang 5G, after losing Game 2 by a score of 92-111, are looking to regroup and tie the best-of-seven series at 1-1. Game 3 is scheduled for Sunday, January 25th, with a 7:30 p.m. tip-off at the Mall of Asia Arena in Pasay.

In Game 2, TNT showed resilience by cutting a 24-point deficit to 10 points in the fourth quarter, led by Rey Nambatac's 17 points. Contributions also came from Brandon Ganuelas-Rosser (15 points), Jordan Heading (14), and Kevin Ferrer (11). However, they could not sustain the rally against San Miguel's late run.

Pogoy's absence in the first two games was notably felt, particularly on defense and in creating shots during crucial moments. His potential return is seen as a key factor for TNT, as it could provide needed spacing, defensive toughness, and help the team regain its rhythm against San Miguel.

With the series now effectively reset, Game 3 is viewed as pivotal. Regardless of Pogoy's availability, TNT will require sharper execution and sustained energy to reclaim momentum from the San Miguel Beermen.
