The PBA on Wednesday announced that all games of the 2020 season, including PBA D-League Aspirants Cup games and the upcoming 3×3 inaugural tournament, as well as related activities, will be suspended indefinitely due to the coronavirus (COVID-19) situation in the country.

Most patients who contracted the disease reside in Metro Manila, where the PBA holds most of its games for both the professional tournament and the D-League level.
