San Miguel Beer superstar June Mar Fajardo is expected to miss several games following surgery on his throat.
This was after he was hit with a wayward elbow to the neck from Rain or Shine import Steve Taylor Jr.
San Miguel coach Leo Austria said their prized big man had to undergo operation for a misaligned cartilage in his larynx Thursday.
This is expected to affect the Beermen's PBA Commissioner's Cup campaign as the 6-time MVP plays a crucial part in their rotation.
This also means SMB's reinforcement Diamond Stone will be given more opportunities to prove himself.
Stone, a last-minute replacement to the injured Thomas Robinson, scored 42 points in their 113-105 win against the Painters.
