The Philippine Basketball Association (PBA) is likely to cancel its Season 49 All-Star Weekend due to venue availability issues. Originally planned for Davao del Norte, the event was postponed due to security concerns and a potential relocation was considered. However, PBA Commissioner Willie Marcial announced that the proposed alternative venue is also unavailable during the league's preferred dates in May. The decision to cancel is influenced by the impending Finals in July, leaving no room for the All-Star event. Despite the cancellation, the league plans to continue supporting the Players' Trust Fund, the usual beneficiary of the All-Star Game.
