June Mar Fajardo sits out SMB practice, rests hurting left calf

MANILA, Philippines: The two-day respite before Game 6 is a timely tonic for seven-time PBA Most Valuable Player June Mar Fajardo who has been dealing with a hurting left calf in the ongoing Commissioner's Cup finals.

The 6-foot-10 star slotman though managed to play through pain, contributing 18 points and grabbing 15 rebounds as the San Miguel Beermen subdued the Magnolia Hotshots, 108-98 on Sunday to regain the driver's seat, 3-2, and moving within a win from capturing the franchise's 29th league championship.
