Phoenix Pulse coach Louie Alas urged his son Kevin to take a patient approach after making his return recently from a second ACL injury.
The younger Alas went scoreless in seven minutes in the Road Warriors’ 102-94 loss to the NorthPort Batang Pier last Wednesday, his first game after being sidelined for nine months.
Kevin had been playing five games since hurting his right ACL for the first time in the 2018 PBA Philippine Cup semifinals when he injured the same knee during a rebound play against Meralco.
The patriarch of the Alas family saw a glimpse of his son’s return before heading back to the locker room to prepare for his team’s match against Alaska later in the day.
For Louie, he’s hoping that the lessons of the past will result in a successful comeback.
“Sabi ko sa kanya, take your time at maging lesson sa ‘yo ‘yung nangyari na talagang nagmamadali ka,” said the Fuel Masters mentor, whose playing career was cut short in the 90s due to a similar ACL injury.
