PBA conference chronology

The 2022–23 PBA Commissioner's Cup also known as the 2022–23 Honda PBA Commissioner's Cup for sponsorship reasons, is the second conference of the 2022–23 PBA season of the Philippine Basketball Association (PBA). The 20th edition of the Commissioner's Cup started on September 21, 2022, and will end in early 2023. The tournament allows teams to hire foreign players or imports with a height limit of 6'10".

Notes

  1. ^ Live on iWantTFC worldwide excluding Philippines and United States
  2. ^ a b For the Bay Area Dragons guest team, its entire roster is composed of non-Filipinos. For purposes of the import and the height-limit, all Chinese citizens (including Hong Kong nationals) are considered "locals", while non-Chinese are imports, and only one non-Chinese can play at a game. Aside from being guest in the PBA, they are a franchise team of the East Asia Super League (EASL). In the 2022–23 East Asia Super League, a team is allowed to have two non-Asian imports. The Dragons have two non-Asians on their roster, Canadian Andrew Nicholson and the American Myles Powell. The Dragons will play each player for four consecutive games each, but will choose which one of them to play with on their ninth games onwards.[5]
