The Philippine Basketball Association (PBA) has already made it clear that they will be sticking to its usual one-import setup for the Season 49 Commissioner’s Cup. Commissioner Willie Marcial also clarified that all ball clubs can tap an import with unlimited height.
"Import [setup] natin for the second conference, Commissioner’s Cup, isa lang. Unlimited height," he said in an impromptu presser minutes before Game 5 of the San Miguel-Converge quarterfinal series at the Ynares Center last 5 October 2024.
