Suspensions

After the first round game of Letran and San Beda which resulted in a debris-pelting and bench-clearing incident, Letran's Kris Alas pushed San Beda center Sudan Daniel right after the endgame buzzer, while Belencion was sacked after he taunted the fans which the league considered as mitigating circumstances.

The league also gave a stern warning to Letran head coach Louie Alas, his assistant Mel Alas, and Letran shooting guard Kevin Alas for their misconduct.

Injuries
Letran star forward Rey Guevarra tore his anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) when he took a bad fall after colliding against San Beda center Sudan Daniel in the dying seconds of the second-round encounter between the Knights and Red Lions.
