Season 50 All-Stars in Candon
The Philippine Basketball Association (PBA) All-Star Game festivities will return for Season 50, to be held in Candon City, Ilocos Sur in March, between the Philippine Cup and the Governors' Cup.
PBA Commissioner Willie Marcial emphasized the significance of the All-Star Game as a major part of the PBA Season 50 celebration.
The Season 49 All-Star Game was canceled due to unforeseen circumstances, and was originally planned to be held in Panabo.
Hosting rights for the Candon All-Stars were awarded two years in advance, and the PBA is already planning for Season 51's All-Star Game in Cagayan de Oro.
The last PBA All-Star Game in 2024 in Bacolod City ended in a 140-all draw between Team Mark Barroca and Team Japeth Aguilar.
Robert Bolick shared MVP honors with Aguilar in the 2024 game, after making a game-tying four-ball in the final seconds.
The decision to host the Candon All-Stars was among resolutions approved by the PBA board during their planning session at the MGM Grand Garden Resort in Las Vegas.
