PBA extends draft application deadline for Fil-foreign players

MANILA, Philippines — The PBA has extended the deadline for overseas-born Filipino players wishing to join the 2017 rookie draft on October 29.

Rickie Santos, PBA deputy commissioner for basketball operations, announced on Thursday that Fil-foreign aspirants have until Monday to submit their applications and requirements at the league headquarters in Libis, Quezon City.

The PBA Commissioner’s Office initially set a Friday deadline but has opted to move the date because Friday is a holiday.

Local-born applicants have until October 12 to apply.

After the preliminary list of Fil-foreign applicants is released, there will be a monthlong period to contest the candidates' eligibility.
