SMART CLARK GIGA CITY - The PBA has postponed the scheduled exit of three teams from the bubble brought about by Typhoon Ulysses.
An advisory that the Bocaue portion of NLEX is not passable made the league decide to reschedule the departure of the three teams eliminated early in the Philippine Cup.
Deputy Commissioner Eric Castro made the confirmation upon receiving the advisory.
Curiously, NLEX is one of those teams along with Blackwater and Terrafirma. The three teams were supposed to leave the bubble Thursday afternoon.
NorthPort, the other team which failed to advance in the playoffs, already left for Manila Wednesday afternoon shortly after its final elimination game against Meralco.
Terrafirma likewise planned to leave the bubble on Wednesday, but decided not to risk travelling to Manila owing to the coming typhoon.
Blackwater coach Nash Racela understands the situation, with the welfare and safety of the teams first and foremost the concern of the league.
"Excited na nga kaming umuwi and na-delay pa kami for another day," said Blackwater coach Nash Racela.
"But again yung bagyo is beyond us. We just hope that people are safe and sana huminto na yung bagyo para maka-uwi na rin kami."
