There could be 13 teams for the rest of PBA Season 50 as the Macau Black Bears are eyeing a stint in the Commissioner’s and Governors’ Cups.
A foreign team is interested in seeing action in the PBA.
The league reported this just a day after the Season 50 Philippine Cup resumed action following the lengthy breather for Gilas Pilipinas's FIBA World Cup Asian Qualifiers bid.
That team is the Macau Black Bears, who are also seeing action in the East Asia Super League.

Commissioner Willie Marcial confirmed this development, which could see the Black Bears joining the league in the Commissioner’s and Governors’ Cups.
“Kailangan lang masabihan ko ang board kung paano at kung ano ang mga dapat hingin namin sa kanila,” said Marcial in an article posted on the PBA’s website.
This also means Macau will follow the league’s rules on height limit.
Recently, the Black Bears dropped back-to-back games against Philippine representative Meralco in the EASL.
