"No fracture naman yung nangyari. It depends on me on whether I'll play or not." said Cabañero of his condition.
"Pinagpahinga na lang ako ng PT namin at coaches, so baka sa Wednesday na lang ako maglaro." he added.
Cabañero and UST will hope to play spoiler against the La Salle Green Archers and eliminate the latter from the Final Four race.
