Macau Black Bears apply to join PBA in Season 50

The Macau Black Bears have formally expressed interest in joining the Philippine Basketball Association (PBA) starting in Season 50.

The team's president of basketball operations, Lukas Peng, met with PBA Commissioner Willie Marcial to discuss their potential participation.

Macau aims to play in at least the Commissioner's Cup and the Governors' Cup, and possibly a planned mini-tournament.

Commissioner Marcial will present the application to the PBA board for deliberation, and adjustments to the schedule may be needed if they are approved.

Requirements for the Macau Black Bears are expected to be similar to those given to the Bay Area Dragons, including restrictions on player eligibility and imports.
