Kat Tolentino to take a break from PVL due to auditory condition

Kat Tolentino is set to take a short break from the ongoing 2024 PVL All-Filipino Conference due to an auditory condition she sustained weeks ago.

The Choco Mucho Flying Titans announced the development on Monday as the veteran opposite hitter was advised by her doctor to ‘take precautions and to rest’ amid her recovery journey.

“You may have noticed Kat Tolentino has not been playing lately. That’s because she is recuperating from an auditory condition she developed some weeks ago back,” the Flying Titans said on social media.

“The team is supportive of the doctor’s recommendation for Kat’s well-being.”

Tolentino last suited up during their five-set loss to PLDT last March 19, where she posted 18 points anchored on 15 attacks, two blocks, and one ace. The former Ateneo standout has missed three games since then.

The 6-foot-2 sat out their games against Akari, Galeries, and Capital1, which all resulted in a sweep win despite her absence.

Choco Mucho, though, assured that Tolentino will be back soon as the Dante Alinsunurin-mentored squad looks to claim their first-ever title.

“Don’t worry she will be cleared soon and will be back on the court to help the Flying Titans in our coming games!”

Choco Mucho is currently leading the tournament with a 7-1 win-loss record and will next test its mettle on Saturday, April 13, against a winless Strong Group Athletics side.
