The Basilan Steel undergo quarantine anew after two of their players tested positive for the coronavirus, a development that has put their campaign in the Maharlika Pilipinas Basketball League (MPBL) in jeopardy.

Dragged to a do-or-die match in the Southern Division finals, the Steel were slated to face the Davao Occidental Tigers at 8 pm on Wednesday, March 10 but the MPBL postponed the game to March 17 due to the positive tests.

The two players have already left the MPBL bubble in Subic, while the entire Basilan crew undergoes quarantine.

On March 16, Basilan will be tested again – its winner-take-all clash against Davao Occidental to push through if all results turn out negative.

If somebody tests positive, the Steel will lose by forfeiture and the Tigers will advance to the National Finals, where the winner between the Makati Super Crunch and San Juan Knights in the Northern Division finals await.

The Super Crunch and the Knights tangle in their own rubber match on Wednesday at 4 pm. – Rappler.com
