The scheduled game between the Blackwater Elite and the Magnolia Hotshots was called off to ensure safety health measures by the PBA.
Previously, it was confirmed that one player from Blackwater tested positive for COVID-19 and the whole team and management was ordered to be in isolation until the entire team tests negative.
The TNT Tropang Giga, who last faced Blackwater, was considered as one of their close-contacts and was also placed under isolation.
Although all results were already negative, the game between Magnolia and Blackwater has been postponed and awaits approval from the Inter-Agency Task Force (IATF).
Meanwhile, the next scheduled match, the game between the Meralco Bolts and the San Miguel Beermen, will push through
PBA commissioner Willie Marcial, the board, and the IATF are yet to announce the new schedule between Blackwater and Magnolia.
