Romeo provides firepower for SMB

MANILA, Philippines — Well on his way to recovery from a nagging hamstring injury, San Miguel Beer’s Terrence Romeo is back to his gun-slinging ways.

Two weeks into the PBA on Tour, the returning Romeo sits on top of the scoring table with a league-best 20.7-point average in three outings.

Romeo, who logged only eight games last season, kicked off his comeback with 27 in a 101-106 loss to Phoenix. After easing with 14 in their 87-75 win over NorthPort, the former FEU star erupted for 21 in leading the Beermen to a 90-78 drubbing of Barangay Ginebra Sunday night.

“Siguro nasa 99 percent na ako,” said Romeo, who continues with his therapy while taking primary roles for SMB in the absence of Chris Ross and Simon Enciso.
