Defending champion San Miguel opens its title defense in the PBA Season 49 Commissioner's Cup.
The San Miguel Beermen kick off their PBA Season 49 Commissioner’s Cup campaign as defending champions when they face the Phoenix Fuel Masters Tuesday.
San Miguel, led by reigning Finals MVP CJay Perez, aims to replicate last season’s success with Quincy Miller joining as the team’s import.
Miller, who has prior PBA experience with Converge, brings versatility and scoring prowess to a stacked Beermen lineup.
The former NBA veteran also represents the team in the ongoing East Asia Super League, though the Beermen are still searching for their first win in the international tournament.
Facing a Phoenix team desperate for its first victory, San Miguel will rely on its championship pedigree to set the tone for the conference.
With a mix of seasoned locals and a proven import in Miller, the Beermen are well-positioned to make a strong opening statement.
Tip off is set for 7:30 p.m. from the Ninoy Aquino Stadium.
