THE PBA Board recently approved the proposal that players be to enter the Clark bubble beyond the initial deadline of Oct. 10.
League Deputy Commissioner Eric Castro made the disclosure during Tuesday's Philippine Sporstwriters Association (PSA) webcast Forum.
The new ruling make possible the entry of Barangay Ginebra stalwarts Japeth Aguilar, LA Tenorio, and other players who have not come on board yet inside the bubble.
"The Board of Governors recently approved a new rule na wala muna tayong deadline ngayon for all late comers," said Castro.
"So it's open na puwedeng may pumasok na players or any member na nasa 25-man lineup even if ongoing yung liga natin right now."
The only ones not allowed to enter are those who opted to exit the bubble, according to the PBA deputy commissioner.
"Once you get out, you cannot enter again," said Castro.
The league official said he believes only Tenorio and Aguilar are the only players set to depart for Clark. The Barangay Ginebra point guard is set to enter the bubble by Wednesday, while Aguilar hopefully, would be able to make it before the season restart this Sunday.
Among those who entered the bubble late include Raymond Almazan and Nico Salva of Meralco, Blackwater's Maurice Shaw, JC Intal, Jorey Napoles, Jansen Rios, JayR Reyes, and Dave Marcelo of Phoenix, and the Terrafirma trio of Roosevelt Adams, Aldrech Ramos, and Eric Camson.
NLEX forward Anthony Semerad was the latest to arrive on Monday.
"I think sila yung last two players who will enter," said Castro of Aguilar and Tenorio.
