Rewritten Article:
Looks like the PBA All-Star Game might be a no-go for Season 49, according to PBA Commissioner Willie Marcial. Talking to media outlets, Marcial hinted that the game may be scrapped due to unavoidable complications in hosting it, particularly in Davao.
"It's likely that we won't have an All-Star this season," Marcial said, stating this on the official PBA website.
"They can't host on those dates," Marcial added.
The All-Star Game is scheduled for May 16-18, 2025, but Marcial mentioned that potential host provinces, initially identified, have dropped out due to various reasons[1][2][3].
"We can't get in touch with our prospective hosts," Marcial revealed, without disclosing the names of the interested provinces.
Originally, Davao was slated to host the event from May 2-4, but the plans fell through due to security concerns in Davao del Norte[2][4].
