TNT forward Troy Rosario might sit out the rest of the PBAFinals after suffering spinal shock from a nasty fall in Game 3, an accident that also saw him dislocate the pinky finger of his left hand.

Rosario fell on his back following a flagrant foul from Jackson Corpuz during a drive attempt in the third quarter of Game 3, which Magnolia won, 106-98, on Sunday, October 24.Tropang Giga team manager Gabby Cui said Rosario is"doubtful to return" as he may need surgery on his finger.

"Spinal shock causing only 70% sensation on his left leg plus open finger dislocation," Cui told Rappler when asked about the diagnosis for Rosario. Losing Rosario would be a major blow for TNT, considering he has been one of the more consistent players in the playoffs. Rosario has scored in double digits in 9 of their 11 playoff games, averaging 11.6 points and 6.5 rebounds.

Game 3 was by far his least productive performance in the playoffs as Rosario chalked up just 2 points and 3 rebounds due to early foul trouble before his abrupt exit.
