Alaska coach Luigi Trillo believes Mark Caguioa won’t play in finals for Ginebra


Alaska coach Luigi Trillo is busy preparing his team’s game plan for the Commissioner’s Cup finals against Barangay Ginebra San Miguel.

But one name would be conspicuously missing from his list of marked men: reigning PBA Most Valuable Player Mark Caguioa.

“I don’t think he is playing in the finals,” Trillo told InterAKTV. “It’s a risk playing him in the finals and I think Ginebra will not risk playing him.”

Caguioa has missed most of Ginebra’s games in the tournament after suffering a knee injury midway through the elimination round. He made a cameo appearance in the final minute of the Gin Kings’ semifinals clincher over Talk ‘N Text last Friday.

But for Trillo, the rest of the Ginebra squad presents the bigger problem.

“Our objective is to contain the guys who brought Ginebra to the finals and Caguioa isn’t part of that key group. We need to stop (Vernon) Macklin, LA (Tenorio), Kerby (Raymundo), Chris Ellis, (Mac) Baracael and (Jayjay) Helterbrand,” said Trillo.
