Yes, still weird as the timeline should be June. They can't just say the opening will be next week lol.
There's not even much update now compare to the time when PBA doesn't have any signs of coming back. Maybe they are giving at least 2-3 weeks of practice to all teams? Correct me if I'm wrong but I think some teams aren't starting yet to their respective practice.
There is another new restriction qualification for the country and with that, I don't see any reason why PBA is taking too long to decide or if there's already a plan, no such announcement, and still a plan. I'm not in a rush though. Just noticed the lack of updates when everything is now going smoothly.
I think they will announce the update of the PBA opening after the 3rd window of FIBA Asia qualifier. Though the commissioners have no direct involvement in this event I think they will closely observe how it is being done and they are also hoping that it would be a big success to impress the IATF that basketball will not be a super spreader event once it resumes, of course with the compliance of the health and safety protocol.
Speaking of FIBA, we now have a chance to have a glimpse of Kai Sotto and company as they will be facing South Korea tomorrow.
Let us see if Kai deserves to be in the league of men as his handlers promised.
Good update, what channel can we see that game bro?
I'm not anymore updated with the FIBA as I'm busy betting on the NBA playoffs now, lol.. but I love to see how he can help his team.
I'm sure that we have free TV coverage of the Clark bubble bro, just turn-in to TV5 Sports channel .
I think that crypto bookies will cover this event just like before so we could still make a bet for this one.
Against a Rattlif reinforced South Korea I think the Gilas Cadet would be a huge underdog in this match but still, it's exciting to watch the future of the PBA play.
That's the channel we can see this game, however, the odds is also available already.
