PBA 3×3 players sent home, fate of Govs Cup Finals Game 6 to be determined as fire hits area near Araneta Coliseum
Updated: 2022-04-20
The Philippine Basketball Association (PBA) stopped the ongoing finals of the PBA 3×3 second conference after smoke entered the Smart Araneta Coliseum from a fire that hit an area near the playing venue.
Super Radyo DZBB’s Allan Gatus reported on Wednesday that smoke was seen in a construction site near the Big Dome.
In a call with PBA commissioner Willie Marcial, he said that according to reports relayed to him, smoke from the nearby area entered the venue. With the development, they have sent home the 3×3 players after the reported fire.
The fate of the scheduled Game 6 of the PBA Governors’ Cup Finals also hangs in the balance with the said development.
“Hihintayin natin ang Araneta kung ano ang assessment nila,” Marcial said.
The Governors’ Cup Finals between Barangay Ginebra and Meralco was scheduled later at 6 pm.
