The Ginebra Gin Kings moved some personnel just a day before taking on NorthPort in the PBA Season 49 Philippine Cup.
After absorbing a humbling defeat at the hands of powerhouse San Miguel, Brgy. Ginebra aims to recover as it squares off with NorthPort Batang Pier in the PBA Season 49 Philippine Cup at the PhilSports Arena in Pasig on Wednesday, April 30.
Gametime is at 7:30 p.m.

The Gin Kings, now 1-1, were left searching for answers in their 93-104 loss to the Beermen, a game where June Mar Fajardo imposed his will and exposed what's lacking in Ginebra’s interior defense.
With little time to dwell on the setback, Gin Kings coach Tim Cone and his wards will aim to reset and recapture their groove against a struggling NorthPort side (1-2).
Ginebra also made a roster tweak ahead of the clash, activating 28-year-old guard Jayson David while relegating team veteran LA Tenorio to the unrestricted free agent list — a move that may signal a shift toward a younger backcourt rotation.
With their pride wounded and urgency rising, expect the Gin Kings to come out with renewed intensity as they try to avoid stumbling a second straight time early in the tournament.
