Though no diagnosis has been released to the public, veteran reporter TJ Manotoc tweeted an update from the hospital on Tuesday, December 2 which states that Lim’s “cardiac status and other body organs remain stable” while his “neurologic status remains to be guarded, which means that further tests will have to be done to assess brain condition.”

Lim, who was known as “The Skywalker” for his acrobatic moves while playing for the San Miguel Beermen from 1986-1997, was inducted int the PBA Hall of Fame in 1999 and is set to be included in the PBA’s 40 Greatest Players list this year.

Lim’s eldest sister, Maria Wicklund, arrived in Manila from Pennsylvania last night to stand by on his condition. – Rappler.com
