WHEN Season 46 of the Philippine Basketball Association (PBA) will start remains up in the air, but the league is staying proactive and weighing all options to get the ball rolling at the soonest possible time.
Originally set to begin on April 18, the new PBA season was deferred to a still-to-be-determined date, now dependent on whether the number of coronavirus cases will go down, league officials had been told by the government.
The league, however, remains hopeful that the coronavirus situation here will swing for the better just as it is seeking ways to augment the immediate start of its delayed season.
