MANILA, Philippines—PBA commissioner Willie Marcial said on Tuesday that TNT will be footing the bill after what happened to the Tropang Giga’s designated locker room on Sunday during the Commissioner’s Cup Finals Game 2.

“Whatever happened in that dugout, we have a procedure for that. It’s like when coaches accidentally break things [during moments of frustration],” Marcial told Inquirer Sports in a phone call.

“What will happen there is that the [PBA] will be given a billing statement by the venue, which we would then forward to the team. They’ll be paying.”
