The PBA is considering three venues to host the possible resumption of the league season next month under a bubble concept.
Commissioner Willie Marcial said the league's Board of Governors will meet again next week to finalize what type of bubble the PBA will adopt in its bid to restart the 45th season.
Marcial didn’t reveal which sites are being considered but they were among the total of 19 that expressed interest in hosting the bubble.

The PBA also entertained an offer made by Dubai to host the bubble but the league begged off due to time constraints.
Four sites did make their own presentation during the lengthy board meeting that ended late afternoon, namely the Marriott Hotel in Pasay City, Lio Beach in El Nido, Palawan, Pontefino in Batangas City and Clark, Pampanga.
“Magme-meeting ulit kami to finalize yung bubble,” Marcial said. “Pag-uusapan din namin kung anong klaseng bubble at format.”

Marcial said the league could either adopt an NBA-style bubble, a semi-bubble that will limit the movement of teams and staff to hotel, practice and game venues, or the closed-circuit bubble currently adopted in the ongoing training sessions.

Also to be tackled is the number of playing days that the league may hold.
“Yung binigay kung format may seven times a week, may five times a week at merong six times a week,” he said. “Meron ding doubleheader, may tripleheader, may combination so paguusapan yun.”
