NorthPort Batang Pier player John Amores shared his reflections on social media as he faces attempted homicide charges over a shooting incident, along with a one-conference suspension in the PBA.

"You will be fine again, it just takes time," Amores shared via Instagram Story on Friday, October 18.

  

This also came after former PBA players spoke to Amores via video call. Technically, he is unable to comment on the case since the investigation is ongoing.

Amores figured in a shooting incident in Laguna last September, stemming from a heated exchange in a street basketball game.

No one was hurt in the shooting, and Amores surrendered to the police the next day.

He was charged with attempted homicide for the act and posted a P24,000 bail.

Amores then appeared before PBA Commissioner Willie Marcial and reportedly apologized for his actions.

It was not the first time he figured in a physical altercation, as he was involved in at least two punching incidents in his collegiate days.
