MANILA, Philippines -- Teams of the Philippine Basketball Association are set to undergo testing for the novel coronavirus once again, in the hopes that they can resume practices by next week.
PBA commissioner Willie Marcial will coordinate with Barangay Ginebra team governor Alfrancis Chua, who offered the facilities at the San Miguel Corp. headquarters as the testing venue for the league.
"Baka by next week, ite-test kasi kailangan ma-test muna lahat bago kami nagsimula ng practice. Tina-target ko pa rin, July 22. Sana by July 22, na-test na, makapagsimula tayo ng practices natin," he added. Marcial has spent the past week discussing those guidelines with coaches and team managers as well as with the Board of Governors.Practices will take place in each team's facility. NLEX, for instance, will continue to train at the FCL Sports Center in Xavierville, which they use exclusively. Coach Yeng Guiao has said they will implement even stricter protocols than the ones provided by the PBA.
