Bay Area reprise in offing?

"Sana maging matibay ang partnership ng PBA at Hong Kong Eastern at maging as successful o kaya higit pa ang participation sa Bay Area experience," said Marcial, referring to the guest team's campaign in the 2022-23 Commissioner's Cup where the Dragons took Barangay Ginebra to Game Seven in the Finals before a record crowd of 54,589 at the Philippine Arena. Marcial said he's upbeat that negotiations with Hong Kong Eastern chairman Frankie Yau will come to a mutually beneficial conclusion.
