PBA Media Bureau New franchise Phoenix Fuel Masters has made their very first trade in the PBA after giving away guard Jeric Fortuna to GlobalPort Batang Pier. In return, Phoenix will get Batang Pier’s 2018 second round pick. The league’s official website announced that the trade was finalized on Tuesday. It was the very first move by Phoenix which entered the league in time for the start of the ongoing OPPO Commissioner’s Cup last February. The Fuel Masters acquired the Barako Bull/Air 21 franchise and also took over the old team’s roster that included Fortuna. Fortuna, drafted by Barako Bull in 2013 and also had a stint with San Miguel, has career averages of 5 points, 1.71 rebounds and 1.27 assists. With the deal, Fortuna will be reuniting with GlobalPort coach Pido Jarencio who was his former coach at University of Santo Tomas. The Batang Pier are currently loaded at the backcourt. Apart from its dynamic duo of Terrence Romeo and Stanley Pringle, GlobalPort also has plenty of reserve guards such as Joseph Yeo, Roi Sumang, Jonathan Uyloan and Paolo Taha. But with Pringle currently sidelined with an ankle injury, Fortuna may see some playing time for GlobalPort that is currently on a two-game skid. http://j.mp/1Rm67WR

PBA IMAGES Barako Bull went on a blistering fourth quarter run to foil Star’s attempt to seal a quarterfinals spot, 101-83, in the 2016 PBA Philippine Cup Sunday at Smart Araneta Coliseum. The Energy went on a 21-2 to turn a four-point deficit into an 88-73 lead after two free throws by Jeric Fortuna with 4:28 remaining. “Our obligation is to give our best every game,” said Barako Bull head coach Koy Banal., whose team kept its bid for a twice-to-beat advantage in the quarterfinals alive. “I’ve got to hand this win to my veterans they responded after we lost to Blackwater in our last game.” Josh Urbiztondo led Barako Bull with 24 points, 15 of which came from the 3-point area, while his fellow veteran players JC Intal and Willie Wilson added 18 points apiece as the Energy evened their win-loss record to 5-5 after losing to the Blackwater Elite, 116-92, last Friday. Fortuna, the former University of Santo Tomas star point guard, scored all of his 14 points in the fourth quarter to fill in the void left by RR Garcia, who missed the game due to a right shoulder injury.
