Gilas moves full training to Malaysia as PBA players await overseas teammates
Gilas Pilipinas will prepare as a full squad in Malaysia rather than hold its usual Manila training camp before the November World Cup qualifiers. Tim Cone said the availability of overseas-based players leaves too few team members in Manila for meaningful full-team practice. In the PBA’s 12 November announcement, the main travelling group was due to leave on 21 November. PBA’s 12 November announcement.
The PBA players Cone identified as already in Manila are Scottie Thompson, Chris Newsome, Juan Gomez de Liaño and CJ Perez. Their national-team preparations now depend on assembling with teammates who are playing abroad. The Philippine Star’s report also confirms that a Manila camp is not planned.
| Date | Plan |
|---|---|
| 21 November | Main group leaves for Malaysia |
| 27 November | Philippines vs Syria |
| 29 November | Philippines vs Iran |
The games are scheduled in Seremban, Malaysia. This gives PBA followers a separate set of national-team dates during the league’s break: these qualifiers are not Governors’ Cup fixtures. Cone’s immediate task is bringing the available players together before facing Syria, then Iran two days later.
For the domestic competition, our PBA schedule follows the next league fixtures, while PBA results keeps completed games separate from the upcoming programme.

How a PBA season works: three conferences
Here’s what makes the PBA different from the NBA. A PBA season is not one long race to a single trophy. It’s split into separate tournaments called conferences, and each one crowns its own champion. The league names its usual conferences as the Philippine Cup, the Commissioner’s Cup and the Governors’ Cup. Win all of them in one season and that’s a Grand Slam, the rarest feat in Pinoy basketball.
| Term | What it means | What to check |
|---|---|---|
| Conference | A tournament inside the PBA season | The cup name and season, not just the year |
| Elimination round | The opening stage that decides who advances | Games played and qualification rules |
| Playoff series | Repeated games; series wins decide who goes through | Wins needed and the current series score |
| Finals | The series that decides the conference champion | Whether a result leads the series or clinches it |
Kaya ang isang team can win one conference and struggle in the next. Formats can change between conferences and seasons, so always check the current rules. For example, the PBA’s own preview dated 2 November 2026 described a Governors’ Cup quarterfinal as a best-of-five series, first team to three wins.
Series score vs game score
A game score tells you the points in one game. A series score tells you how many games each team has won. A 100–96 win can make a series 1–1, 2–0 or 3–2, depende sa nangyari before. In a best-of-five, the team leading 2–0 needs one more win; the other team needs three in a row, and a 30-point blowout still counts as just one win. A “sweep” means the loser won no games in that series.
PBA news and the latest PBA updates
PBA news comes thick and fast during a conference: trades, imports, injuries, suspensions and coaching changes. For a reliable PBA update today, follow the same order every time. First, check the official result on the scoreboard. Next, open the standings or the series score to see what the result changed. Then read the PBA latest news with the date and conference attached, para hindi mo mapagkamalang lumang balita ang bago.
Keep a club’s history separate from today’s roster, too. A franchise can have many titles while a player on the current team is still chasing his first. Credit each title to the season and conference that earned it.
PBA stats and statistics: reading the numbers
PBA stats tell you more than the final score. Points, rebounds and assists matter, but so do minutes, field-goal attempts and turnovers. A 25-point game on 25 shots is not the same as 25 points on 14 shots. When you compare PBA statistics between players, use the same conference and a similar number of games, and check whether an import is in the comparison, since imports play only in some conferences.
The league’s biggest names have their own pages, starting with San Miguel’s June Mar Fajardo, one of the most decorated players in PBA history. Fans of the crowd favourite can go straight to Barangay Ginebra.
PBA PH and the rest of Pinoy sports
Founded in 1975, the PBA is the oldest professional basketball league in Asia, and PBA PH games still fill arenas across Metro Manila. But PH sports doesn’t stop at basketball. Volleyball fans can switch to the PVL hub, fight fans to boxing, and the fast-growing pickleball scene has its own page. Following the American league too? Go to the NBA hub.
PBA odds (21+)
If you’re 21 or older and you like to check the line before a game, our PBA odds guide explains spreads, totals and moneylines with local examples. Remember: odds show what an operator offers, not what will happen. Set a budget, play only on PAGCOR-licensed platforms and read our responsible gambling page. Panalo man o talo, enjoy the game.
How to read PBA standings
Look at wins, losses and games played together. Teams that have played a different number of games can’t be compared by wins alone. Winning percentage is wins divided by games played: a 6-2 record is 75%, while 7-3 is 70%. The second team has more wins but a lower win rate.
Next, check how many teams advance and which tie-breaker the conference uses. Sitting high in the table halfway through the elimination round doesn’t mean a team has qualified; the remaining games can still change everything. If the conference uses groups, keep the group tables separate. Third place in one group isn’t automatically equal to third place in another.
Which PBA statistics explain a result?
Start with the shots behind the points. A high score can come from efficient shooting, a fast game with lots of attempts, or both. Then check:
- Turnovers: every lost ball is a lost chance to score, and often a fast break for the other side.
- Offensive rebounds: a recovered miss keeps the attack alive. Did those extra chances become points?
- Free throws: attempts show how often a team got to the line; makes show how much it converted.
- Minutes: 15 points in 20 minutes and 15 points in 40 minutes are not the same game.
- Who played: compare the lineup that actually took the court with the last meeting.
Example: a team makes two fewer field goals but commits seven fewer turnovers and gets to the line more often. Shooting percentage alone would miss why it stayed in the game. Use the PBA’s own stat categories when you read its tables.
Following a PBA game today
Confirm the teams, venue and tip-off from the PBA’s official announcements, and note the Philippine date as well as the time. A venue change matters if you’re going to the arena; a broadcast change matters if you’re watching at home. After the game, read the final score first, then the box score and recap, and only then the reactions online. A screenshot without a date may come from an older meeting of the same teams.
Comparing PBA teams fairly
Choose your question first. “Who has the better record this conference?” needs the conference record. “Who played better last night?” needs that one game. “Whose rotation improved?” needs the players and minutes across several games. For a fair comparison, note the conference and stage, games played, wins and losses, recent opponents and the lineup that played, with dates. Two clubs that are both 4-2 aren’t equal if one record comes from the current conference and the other from an earlier cup. And if a club played without its main ball-handler, the loss still counts, but it changes what that game tells you about the next one.
Quick answers about the PBA
Is a PBA conference the same as an NBA conference?

What is a PBA Grand Slam?
Winning every conference championship in a single PBA season.
