File/PBA Media Bureau</figcaption></figure></div>Now that Greg Slaughter is injury free, the Barangay Ginebra big man is expected to play in more games, even full time, this coming PBA season.The first overall pick of the 2013 PBA Draft spent a majority of his time out of the court last season due to an ACL injury. This time, however, the 7-foot former Ateneo standout feels good about his health and could clash against 4-time Most Valuable Player June Mar Fajardo all year long.After he was adjudged best player of the 2017 Governors’ Cup fresh off rehabilitating his knee, should fans expect the “Greg-zilla” to win MVP in the coming year?“I don&#x27;t really put too much thought into that. It&#x27;s very hard to start the season trying to foresee the end,” Slaughter said during the Gin Kings’ thanksgiving party Friday after their title run in the Governors’ Cup.<ul class="op-related-articles">	<li><a href="http://news.abs-cbn.com/sports/10/22/17/pba-unleashed-greg-zilla-wakes-up-in-time-to-lead-ginebra-to-crucial-win">PBA: Unleashed ‘Greg-zilla’ wakes up in time to lead Ginebra to crucial win</a></li></ul>For Slaughter, it’s about getting wins and championships rather than piling personal stats necessary for an MVP accolade. “It was never something that I really put my mind into because I&#x27;m not gonna change my game or change my role or try to do things differently for an individual award,” said Slaughter, who tasted his first title when he joined the Gin Kings in winning a second consecutive Governors’ Cup title against Meralco.He said he looks forward to winning other titles other than the Governors’ Cup crown.“Definitely, we want to win other championships. It&#x27;s never easy winning one, but my expectation is to win every single one,” he said.For more sports coverage, visit the <a href="http://sports.abs-cbn.com">ABS-CBN Sports website</a>.
