PBA: Extended minutes not a problem for Alaska's Manuel

MANILA, Philippines -- Alaska head coach Alex Compton had been hoping to ease Vic Manuel in slowly in the 2019 PBA Commissioner's Cup, as the veteran forward makes his way back from an injury that kept him out of the entirety of the All-Filipino Conference.

"Vic was able to play 24 and a half minutes so I think I just violated my own minutes restriction when Jake Pascual hurt his shoulder," said Compton after the game. "But it was good to have him out there. Obviously you see what he does." For Manuel, extending his minutes was a non-issue. Indeed, he welcomed the longer playing time after having been away from basketball for several months.
