Cone did not elaborate on the reason for the late entry of the two, although SPIN.ph Sources said family and health issues had something to do with Tenorio and Aguilar’s failure to join the Kings when they entered the bubble last Tuesday.

Meanwhile, Aguilar is reportedly still in rehab from an old injury, which the source, however, did not bother to mention.
Both Tenorio and Aguilar played key roles in the four championships the Kings won with Cone in the past four years.
Tenorio, 36, was MVP of consecutive Finals when Geneva won the Governors Cup title in 2016 and 17, while Aguilar won the same award when the Kings regained the Governors Cup crown last January.
