Paul Lee said that he is not feeling any major pain in his hamstring, but he is not yet cleared to train with Magnolia, which is battling TNT in the PBA quarterfinals.
Paul Lee is activated but will not see action in No. 6 Magnolia's quarterfinal game against third-seeded TNT in the PBA Season 50 Philippine Cup Saturday, Dec. 27.
Lee said he is projected to be out for four to six weeks because of a torn hamstring he suffered in the Hotshots' game against Rain or Shine in Bahrain last Dec. 16.

Though he is not feeling any major pain, Lee said he is still not cleared to practice with the team.
To fill up the hole he left, LA Tenorio is serving as playing coach for Magnolia, which needs to hurdle a twice-to-beat disadvantage against the Tropang 5G.
