Kerby Raymundo has already missed his team’s last two games in the Fiesta Conference because his right knee is under rehab. Now, the B-Meg Derby ace is also skipping the 2010 PBA All-Star Game.
Raymundo earned a starting spot for the North team along with Mark Pingris, JC Intal, Jayjay Helterbrand and Paul Artadi in the annual spectacle scheduled from April 23-25 in Puerto Princesa.
His recovery may take a while, according Derby Ace coach Ryan Gregorio, who will call the shots for the North against the South. “There is no timetable for his return,” he said.
Raymundo’s absence paved the way for Rain or Shine’s Gabe Norwood to start for a team blessed with height, quickness and good shooters.
Also in the North squad are rookie Rico Maierhofer, Willie Miller, Ranidel de Ocampo, Sol Mercado, Ryan Reyes, Mac Cardona and Arwind Santos.
Kelly Williams, Erik Menk, Asi Taulava, Cyrus Baguio and James Yap, who received the most number of fan votes with 47,156, are the starters for the South Team which won the last meeting between the two teams in 2008.
Alaska coach Tim Cone will call the shots for the South that also includes Jimmy Alapag, Roger Yap, Reynel Hugnatan, Dondon Hontiveros, Sonny Thoss, Joe Devance and Ronald Tubid.
The All-Star Weekend, now on its 21st edition, also features the Rookies vs Sophomore Game, Slam Dunk contest, obstacle course event and the 3-point shootout.
The Rookies are composed of Marcy Arellano, Jervy Cruz, Ogie Menor, Chris Ross, Cris Timberlake, Joshua Urbiztondo, Ronnie Matias and Mike Burtscher.
Beau Belga, Mark Borboran, Jason Castro, Jeff Chan, Bonbon Custodio, Jared Dillinger, Larry Rodriguez and Mark Yee complete the Sophomore roster.
