SAN JUAN Knights and Davao Occidental-Cocolife officially sealed their entry in the Pilipinas Super League Pro Division Second Conference Dumper Cup in a simple ceremony at the Senate on Wednesday.San Juan team owner Senator Jinggoy Estrada signed the contracts with the league in his Senate office with PSL president Rocky Chan, vice president Ray Alao and commissioner Marc Pingris.
“Davao and San Juan have this existing rivalry even during our MPBL days,” said Estrada referring to the regional league Maharlika Pilipinas Basketball League. “We are looking forward to a more competitive and better league.” Also present were PSL head of basketball operations Leo Isaac, Knights coaching consultant Philip Cezar and team manager Jun Usman.Estrada emphasized his firm stand against “game-fixing” not just in pro leagues but even in the collegiate ranks.
“Game-fixing has no place in basketball. I will be the first one as your senator to investigate if there’s one,” Estrada said. “ San Juan, however, has to cool its heels first before it plunges into action in the PSL. “We’re still recruiting players after we finished our campaign in the other tournament [MPBL],” he said.
