2017-18 PBA season to skirt FIBA home-and-away games
MANILA, Philippines – The PBA Commissioner’s Office is now thoroughly studying sets of calendars of activities for next season that will skirt the important FIBA tourneys, thus, allowing the best of the league to play for Gilas Pilipinas in a quest to make the 2019 World Cup and the 2020 Olympics.
“It’s hard but the PBA is doing the best we can,” PBA commissioner Chito Narvasa told The STAR.
An option is to start the 2017-18 PBA season by the fourth week of November or the first week of December when the first window of the FIBA home-and-away Olympic qualifying event is done.
Gilas Pilipinas plays Japan on November 24 then Chinese Taipei on November 27.
Narvasa, Samahang Basketbol ng Pilipinas president Al Panlilio and Gilas coach Chot Reyes sit down in another meeting anytime soon to finalize the details of Gilas’ international sorties.
The makeups of the Gilas team in these tournaments and the season calendars being laid down by the Commissioner’s Office are subject to the approval of the PBA governors whose next meeting is set June 29.
