So a twice battle against groupmates and once against other groups? total of 16 games in elimination round? Or maybe they won't play other groups, much like the in-season nba.

Hopefully they won't play the other groups. If they do, that's 6 more games per team. Just 10 games per team shaves a week off the PBA schedule.

We need the season to end as early as possible for Gilas to properly rest, train, and call for injury replacements.

Just probably own group. No crossover thing

Looks like teams will only play their groupmates, i hope this minimizes the alagang kapatid/ sagip kapamilya issue

Feels like group a is the group of death with Meralco, TNT, Mags and Converge looking competitive, Northport can play spoiler

For group b, the gap between smb/bgsm vs the rest of the field is wide as heck

Best they can do is put all the official SMC/MVP teams in 2 group which sums up to 6, then all the independent and so-called independent teams in another lol.

Welcome back Allen Durham.

Durham is slated to renew his rivalry with Brownlee, who is also returning for the Gin Kings for the Governors’ Cup.

The two, however, will only face once in the eliminations with Meralco and Ginebra in separate groups in a new format that has teams from the same bracket going up against each other twice.

Daruis Days taps by TNT as RHJ is contemplating on signing in Europe.

TNT has tapped the services of Darius Days for the PBA Season 49 Governors’ Cup as plans to bring back Rondae Hollis Jefferson may have to wait.

Sources said that the Tropang Giga cannot secure his return as the former NBA vet is bound for Europe and is contemplating signing in either Germany or Paris.

Thus, the decision to bring in the 24-year-old forward, a product of the LSU Tigers program and most recently played in the NBA G-League.
