MANILA, Philippines—The second conference of the PBA 3×3 will tip off in the coming weekend at Araneta Coliseum.

The league’s return comes eight days after the Governors’ Cup resumed play.

New team Master Sardines makes its debut in the three-a-side tournament, replacing Zamboanga Valientes.

The Valientes reportedly begged off from the second conference due to lack of available players.

Master Sardines is in Pool A along with Barangay Ginebra, Terrafirma, Sista and Platinum Karaoke.

Ginebra and Platinum opens the second conference on Saturday.

Meralco, San Miguel, TNT and Pioneer, meanwhile, are in Pool B.

Pool C features NorthPort, Purefoods, Cavitex and first conference grand champion Limitless App.
