TNT and MVP group boss Manny V. Pangilinan raise questions regarding Ray Parks' reason for his decision to skip the upcoming PBA season

There seems trouble brewing inside the TNT Tropang Giga camp.

TNT raised questions regarding Ray Parks’ planned PBA hiatus after its star guard announced he will not play in the upcoming season as he deals with personal matters involving his family.

On its official social media accounts, the Tropang Giga shared a screenshot of a Facebook post made by MVP group boss Manny V. Pangilinan.

Pangilinan posted a photo of Parks with a supposed fan, saying it was taken last February 25 in San Juan, La Union.

“I don’t see any mother cared for, and as far as I know, La Union is nowhere near California. Judge for yourself,” Pangilinan wrote.

Pangilian presumably is referring to the reason given by Parks about his decision to skip the season.

Although not diving into details, Parks said not playing next season for TNT is what is “best for me and my family” at the present.

His absence proves to be a major blow for the Tropang Giga after Parks led the team to a finals appearance in the previous Philippine Cup.

Parks, however, suffered a calf injury in the finals opener as TNT fell prey to Barangay Ginebra in 5 games of their seven-game series. – Rappler.com
