SBP Statement on Philippine Participation in the 2018 Asian Games pic.twitter.com/bYJkGEi74R

SBP did not state any reason other than “to allow our National team and our organization to regroup, prepare for the process of appealing the FIBA Disciplinary Panel..”
In this ESPN 5 article, PBA commissioner Willie Marcial said that the Rain or Shine (RoS) management remains willing to send its team to the Asian Games.
If PBA players are not available, why not just send selection of college players which is what the Philippines have been doing before they started sending pros in 1990.

Cavs and the Warriors will meet in NBA Finals for the fourth consecutive year. Just like last year, Cavs will be the underdog and who could blame them. I expect this to be a quick series.
