PBA sets June 23 meeting for practice resumption guidelines

The PBA is planning to meet with team representatives on June 23 to discuss guidelines for a possible return to practice amid the coronavirus pandemic.

PBA Commissioner Willie Marcial hopes to get players' consensus and opinion during the meeting, while also explaining safety protocols.

On Wednesday, the league submitted health and safety guidelines to the Inter-Agency Task Force (IATF) overseeing the pandemic response, aiming for a resumption of its season which has been suspended since March 11.

The PBA's proposed training protocol limits group sizes to six people: four players, one trainer, and one safety officer. Players will not be allowed to shower at team facilities to prevent virus spread.
