Troy Rosario’s Contract Update: A Boost for Barangay Ginebra Ahead of PBA Semifinals

Barangay Ginebra fans can finally breathe a sigh of relief as Coach Tim Cone has provided a crucial update regarding the contract situation of forward/center Troy Rosario. The talented player, known for his versatility on the court, has long been eyed by Ginebra to strengthen their roster, particularly in time for the PBA semifinals and beyond.

As of now, Rosario’s contract with Barangay Ginebra has been approved by the PBA Commissioner. However, a slight complication has emerged: the recent contract renewal of veteran Joe Devance, a longtime Ginebra player, prevents Rosario and Devance from playing together at the same time. Ginebra must navigate this issue as they strategize for the upcoming semifinals.

Coach Cone expressed concern over potential adjustment challenges if Rosario’s contract does not come into effect soon. Delaying Rosario’s arrival could complicate the team’s preparations for the semifinals. However, there is hope that Rosario could join the team in time, possibly advancing his contract to allow him to play immediately in the semifinals and potentially in the finals if Ginebra advances.

Rosario’s presence on the court is seen as essential, particularly in filling a much-needed backup role for Japeth Aguilar. Aguilar has shown signs of fatigue during the second half of games, and while Devance provides some relief, his stamina at 42 years old is not what it used to be. Rosario, still in his prime, offers the fresh legs and energy that Ginebra needs as they face tough competition in the PBA.

With Rosario potentially joining soon, Ginebra fans can expect an exciting boost in the lineup. Further updates regarding the finalization of Rosario’s contract and his involvement in the upcoming games will be eagerly anticipated by fans.

Stay tuned for more updates as Barangay Ginebra prepares for the PBA semifinals with renewed hope and determination.
