TIM Cone happily announced Barangay Ginebra guard LA Tenorio is now cancer-free.
The champion coach said Tenorio just finished his final check up in Singapore on Tuesday where he was declared healed from the Big C by doctors.
"He's finished with all of his chemo seasions, he's been declared cancer-free, and he told them within days, he can start practicing," said Cone of the latest health condition of his long time court general.
Tenorio did a video call with Cone and the rest of the PBA Board while league officials were on a meeting to discuss the changes in the Gilas Pilipinas lineup to the 19th Southeast Asian Games.
It's been six months since Tenorio was diagnosed with cancer that kept him out of Ginebra's campaign in the season-ending Governors Cup.

Now he can start working on his playing condition again with the hope of suiting up for the Kings in the new season of the PBA.
But upon his return to the country on Wednesday, he'll rejoin Gilas Pilipinas at the Inspire Sports Academy in Laguna for the final two days of the team's training camp.
Tenorio is among the deputy coaches of Cone with the national team. "He's in the list of our coaches so we have his presence there at Inspire," said Cone.(RG)
