Basketball UAAP La Salle center Arnold Van Opstal says he's
skipping UAAP season, hints PBA is 'next frontier'
From: Reuben Terrado
ARNOLD Van Opstal wrote on his Instagram account that he
will no longer play for De La Salle in the coming UAAP season, then hinted
about his plans to turn pro and apply for the PBA Rookie Draft this season.
In
his post, Van Opstal said he decided not to play for the Green Archers in the
UAAP Season 78 to give time for his Achilles injury to fully heal, saying he
feels the decision will be for the good of his basketball career in the long
run.
The La Salle center also dropped hints that he is set to turn pro,
mentioning about his “next frontier” which is the PBA. UAAP players are barred
from playing for their school teams and apply for the PBA draft on the same
year.
If Van Opstal plays for the Green Archers this season, he will have to
wait until 2016 to enter the draft. “It pains me to announce that after four of
the best years of my life, my career in La Salle is coming to an end,” wrote
Van Opstal.
“For those of you who are asking why, I am sitting out for the
season for the benefit of my basketball career, as I have been suffering from
an ongoing Achilles injury, which has never had the time to fully heal,” Van
Opstal added.
Van Opstal went on to thank his teammates, coaches, managers, the
La Salle community, fans, and media for the support. “I hope that you will
continue to support me, as I am DETERMINED to come back stronger, faster and
better to tackle my next frontier, the PBA.
"This is not the end but only the
beginning. Love you guys always. ANIMO LA SALLE,” he said.
