MANILA, Philippines–The PBA remains optimistic that it can still salvage its suspended 45th season even with Metro Manila placed under general community quarantine once again for the next two weeks
League commissioner Willie Marcial said the PBA is still on track for a return in October, especially if the situation improves this month.
”Some players, though, have run out of patience with Barangay Ginebra’s Japeth Aguilar seen in a video posted on social media playing five-on-five ball with former Ateneo stars Isaac Go and Thirdy Ravena in an apparent pickup game at Ronac Gym.
Marcial had given all members of the PBA community strict orders to engage in all the protocols ordered by the Inter-Agency Task Force for the Management of Emerging Infectious Diseases —not playing in a full court scrimmage being one of them—and the video clearly shows violations of those protocols.
TNT governor Ricky Vargas is also bullish that the pro league can get back on its feet and restart the season.
