There will be no height restrictions for next season’s PBA Commissioner’s Cup, commissioner Willie Marcial said on Wednesday, which is expected to bring in an influx of taller imports to the league.
MANILA, Philippines --
Former NBA star Dwight Howard earlier asked the PBA to reconsider the rule, as he expressed desire to play in Asia’s oldest professional basketball league. “There is the proposal to have two imports. But that still depends if the guest team joins us, maybe we can have two imports,” he added.Aside from this, Marcial revealed that the 6-foot-6 height limit in the season-opening PBA Governors’ Cup will remain.“Here, the teams will face teams they are grouped with twice and they will face those outside their group once. Then, a crossover,” he said.
