The two-day event was supposedly to take place Wednesday at the Gatorade Hoops Center in Mandaluyong.
All 71 aspirants are expected to show-up for the combine in the hope to impress coaches, who will be around to look for new talent.
On Day 1, the aspirants will be made to undergo biometrics where they will be measured individually according to height, weight and wing span.
Later in the afternoon, they will be divided into eight teams and play 5-on-5.
The second day of the event will be more tedious as players will spend the entire day playing 5-on-5.
The 2019 PBA Rookie Draft is set on Dec. 8 at Robinson’s Place Manila.
