00:00 Although his recovery is still ongoing, he was injured in his hand.

00:05 Roger Pugoy was back in the Philippines last week in the Meralco Gym in Pasig City.

00:12 Let's talk about the current condition of the Gila Shooting Guard here in Ulat Idare, Locarit.

00:17 Roger Ray Pugoy is not yet fully recovered from his fractured finger injury.

00:23 For the Gila Philippines Practice of TNT Guard, Roger Ray Pugoy.

00:27 You can remember that Pugoy suffered an injury in his last game in the PBA Governors Cup Finals against Barangay Hinebra, San Miquel.

00:34 Because of this, Pugoy is one of the players who were not included in the tune-up games of the Philippines in Europe in the past few months.

00:42 In the PTV Sports' 6ft2 Cager, he is already in the final match of the Gila after his recovery from his hand injury.

00:51 Actually, I'm happy because I haven't played for three months. It's my first time to play 5-on-5.

00:58 I'm happy that I'm back. I'm just taking it slow.

01:03 Pugoy admitted that he is still recovering but he is still trying to play.

01:10 To be honest, I'm not 100% yet but I can do it. I'm able to shoot and dribble. I can do everything.

01:20 According to Gila's head coach, Chot Reyes, Pugoy's last game was already good especially when it comes to defense of the country.

01:29 Well, right now it's still baby steps for him but we can already see immediately his effect.

01:37 He had some good offensive plays and we all know how Roger plays defense.

01:46 That ups our defensive level immediately just by being here.

01:52 Hopefully, he will continue. Still far from where he wants to be with regards to his ability to shoot with his injured hand.

02:02 Like I said, it's baby steps.

02:04 For now, Pugoy and the entire Gila are continuing their training for a pocket tournament that will be held in China from August 2 to 6.

02:14 They are still part of their preparation for the FIBA World Cup.
