The PBA will launch a probe as its players and teams were allegedly paid off by a Singaporean businessman to fix games from April to July 2018.

MANILA, Philippines – , a certain Koa Wei Quan faces 14 graft charges before the State Courts in Singapore after being accused of influencing games in the PBA and Thailand Basketball League amounting to nearly $70,000 in bribes.

Koa allegedly offered a bribe of $5,000 to Magnolia big man Ian Sangalang and worked with former PBA player Leo Avenido and a certain Sergei Bien Orillo to arrange for the Hotshots to lose Game 5 of the 2018 Philippine Cup finals against the San Miguel Beermen by at least 9 points. Sangalang recorded 11 points, 5 assists, 3 rebounds, 1 steal, and 1 block against a game-high 8 turnovers in the loss, with three of his turnovers coming in second overtime.
