SMART CLARK GIGA CITY - Blackwater will miss its second straight game in the PBA Philippine Cup after its scheduled game against Magnolia Wednesday was postponed at the last minute.
The move according to the league was made pending the approval of the IATF.
Blackwater had one of its player emerge as a suspected case, but has since been considered false positive after testing negative in both antigen and confirmatory RT-PCR tests.
He remains in isolation though at the New Clark City quarantine facility.
Meanwhile, the rest of the Blackwater team had tested negative.
After getting a negative result, the Elite (2-3) were already allowed to get out of isolation and had their practice on the even of their match against the Hotshots.
Although disappointed, the Elite couldn't do anything but wait.
"Adjust pa din kami," was coach Nash Racela's curt reply.
This marks the second time the Elite's scheduled games has been moved. Their game against Rain or Shine Sunday was cancelled the moment one of their players tested positive.
The second game between Meralco and defending champion San Miguel however, will proceed as scheduled at 6:45 p.m. at the Angeles University Foundation gym (powered by Smart 5G).
