Metro Manila (CNN Philippines, June 5) – The Philippine Basketball Association Board on Saturday barred NLEX Road Warriors star guard Kiefer Ravena from playing in the Japanese professional league. The board decided that Kiefer has to honor his contract with NLEX and the PBA. That is where we are, said PBA Board Chairman Ricky Vargas of TNT KaTropa.
Vargas said the PBA Board decision upheld a player s contract and adhered to the rules set by the league, International Basketball Federation or FIBA, the Philippine Constitution and related laws regarding contracts and obligations.

TNT Tropang Giga is planning to take the issue regarding troubled star Ray Parks Jr before the PBA Commissioner’s Office to clear the air and determine the rights of both player and team.
Board Chairman Ricky Vargas already mentioned the matter to Commissioner Willie Marcial when the two attended the PBA Press Corps virtual Awards Night on Sunday at studio 4 of TV5 Media Center.
“We’ll take a look at it from two points of view. This is not the first time this incident happened. We’ll see how we can address this issue so that moving forward the policies are a lot clearer and fairer to everyone concern,” said Vargas.
