PBA must adjust schedule for Asian qualifiers – Sy

Blackwater team owner Dioceldo Sy said the Philippine Basketball Association (PBA) should adjust its schedule for the upcoming second window of the International Basketball Federation (FIBA) Asian Qualifiers on February 22 and 25 to allow teams to loan their players to Gilas Pilipinas.

In response to PBA Officer in Charge Willie Marcial’s statement regarding the possibility of allowing teams to loan more than two players to Gilas 5, Sy said the PBA needs to take at least a five-day break during the course of the Asian qualifiers so as not to compromise the quality of the players’ performance in the ongoing Philippine Cup.
