“The PBA team owners have agreed to make way for the FIBA-Asia tournament by transferring the third conference of the current 2013 season from the original May-July sked to August-October,” pahayag ni PBA Commissioner Chito Salud sa isang statement sa media kahapon.

Kabilang din sa binago ng PBA Board ay ang magiging format ng PBA Commissioner’s Cup na magsisimula na ngayong Biyernes na itutulad na sa nakaraang Philippine Cup.

“As a result of these adjustments, Gilas Pilipinas will have two months of unhampered training as a team. Regular Monday practices will commence as soon as Gilas coach Chot Reyes finalizes the line-up of our team,” wika ni Salud, sabay dagdag na ang mga pagbabagong ito ay pormal na aaprubahan ng PBA Board sa isang special nilang pagpupulong para sa nasabing adhikain ngayong Huwebes.
