MANILA, Philippines — Marnel “Mac” Baracael, the Far Eastern University basketball player who was shot Thursday night, is “stable” but remains confined to an intensive care unit, team officials said Friday afternoon.

The 6-foot-3 Baracael was shot by a still unknown assailant past 8:30 p.m. Thursday at R. Papa corner Nicanor Reyes streets in Manila.

“He’s stable but in bad shape,” said Anton Montinola, FEU’s representative to the UAAP board. “We have no information yet [regarding the motive]. We cannot speculate.”
