CALVIN ABUEVA’S return to the Philippine Basketball Association (PBA) would have to wait awhile—no thanks to the lockdown that’s on its third month now.
PBA Commissioner Willie Marcial said Abueva is in the process of completing some sort of a “community service” to prove his sincerity to mend his ways when he returns to the pro league.
“We have requirements for him to complete. When he finishes them, we will evaluate his acts and make a decision,” Marcial told the online Philippine Sportswriters Association Forum on Tuesday.
Abueva appealed his suspension and agreed to conditions set by the league for his return.
“I’m still asking him to work on another requirement. That’s based on what we’ve discussed before,” Marcial said.
“But his tasks were put on hold due to Covid-19 pandemic. But the sooner he completes the tasks, the better,” he added.
The PBA slapped an indefinite suspension on Abueva for two infractions—applying a clothesline on TNT import Terrence Jones and making lewd acts on Ray Parks Jr.’s girlfriend.
The Phoenix forward publicly apologized for his misdeeds and appealed to the league to take him back.
