The Philippine Basketball Association (PBA) postponed Game 6 of the PBA Governors' Cup Finals scheduled for Wednesday night at the Smart Araneta Coliseum.

The league said the move was in consideration of the public's safety after a fire broke out earlier in the Big Dome.

"With the safety of all in mind, the PBA has decided to postpone the 46th Season Governors Cup Finals Game 6 between Barangay Ginebra San Miguel and Meralco Bolts tonight," the league said in a statement.

In a statement, the Araneta Group said no damages or injuries were reported from the fire.

"Fire was put out at 1:08pm. No damages or injuries were reported. The management extends its gratitude to the Bureau of Fire Protection for the quick response," the Araneta Group said.
