Official Statement of TNT on Jared Dillinger car accident

 

After a serious blow to their roster with Kelly Williams opting to go on medical leave because of his recurring blood disorder, (ITP), Talk and Text suffers another lost to their lineup as Jared Dillinger was involved in a car accident after their Game 1 loss to Ginebra while driving along South Superhighway in his SUV. 

A series of news reports have surmounted until today that Talk and Text issued a statement regarding Dillinger's accident, detailing the extent of injury that he sustained. 

Official Statement from TNT issued by Team Manager Aboy Castro:

"Some time after TNT’s Semi final Game 1 last Friday, Apr 26, Jared Dillinger figured in a vehicular accident along the South Superhighway on his way home. He was alone in his SUV. No one else was injured and no property was damaged.

Jared was brought to the Makati Medical Center and immediately subjected to a battery of tests. The left iliac wing (pelvic bone) was found to have a comminuted fracture with 60% inward displacement. This type of fracture poses a risk to professional basketball players who have to deal with all the running, jumping and contact involved with the sport.

On Wednesday Jared will undergo a procedure to realign his pelvis and stabilize the fracture with metal plates and screws. He will not be ambulatory for 6-12 weeks to allow the bone to heal. Then he will start the long rehabilitation process to allow him to come back and play at the highest level of professional basketball. This process will take anywhere between 3-6 months depending on how Jared’s body responds to the operation and the rehab.

Jared will miss the rest of the PBA Season and will not be part of the Gilas campaign this coming August."
