League news

On September 1, the league announced it will not control the Atléticos de San Germán for the upcoming 2018 BSN season, after activating the team last season. There was a commitment to run the team under receivership for a single year until a new owner was found.[1] The good performance of the team has raised the interest of several groups to buy the franchise with a view to the 2018 tournament. On September 14, league president Fernando Quiñones was hopeful that both the A's and Indians' franchise will see action next season under their own administrations although talks are still in preliminary stages. In the coming weeks will know the future of the Atléticos de San Germán and the Indios de Mayagüez in Baloncesto Superior Nacional (BSN).[2]

On October 31, league president Fernando Quiñones, announced the tournament could begin in late April or early May.[3]
