Afer the controversial shooting incident, there is now a big possibility that John Amores' contract will be terminated as a consequences of his recent brush with the law.
According to PBA commissioner Willie Marcial, pending the result of the league's investigation into the shooting incident that the controversial NorthPort player figured in after a ligang labas game last 25 September.
Marcial has put together a team that included PBA legal counsel Ogie Narvasa and NorthPort governor Eric Arejola to review the letter of explanation submitted by Amores, who faces attempted homicide charges along with his brother John Red, who allegedly drove the getaway motorcyle.
The brothers were released from custody after posting bail. The initial hearing of the case is set for 4 December.
Marcial added that the group will have to decide on whether Amores should be suspended by the PBA because of the incident, and on whether he be allowed to return and play in the pro league again once the suspension is over.
"Yun ang tinitingnan namin. Kung kailangan ba siyang i-suspend, puwede pa ba siyang maglaro sa PBA or hindi na?" said the commissioner. He also asked if Northport will have to continue paying him his salary because he is still under contract.
The commissioner admitted that Amores's contract remains "live," but he’s not been told whether Northport management has suspended the guard because of the incident that happened in Lumban town in Laguna where the PBA forward had an altercation with another player while playing in an unsanctioned game.
