All PBA teams will see action for the first time in the third week since the PBA Philippine Cup eliminations resumed at the Don Honorio Ventura State University in Bacolor, Pampanga.
Meralco and Alaska are scheduled to play in the latest five-day period after failing to see action last week due to the league’s COVID-19 protocols.
Two games are on tap for Meralco on Thursday, Sept. 16, against Terrafirma and Saturday, Sept. 18, opposite Blackwater while Alaska is going to have a debilitating schedule of three games in consecutive days beginning Friday, Sept. 17.
The Aces play defending champion Barangay Ginebra San Miguel, followed by TNT on Saturday, Sept. 18 and Terrafirma on Sunday, Sept. 19.
