2014 PBA Expansion Draft

The 2014 PBA Expansion Draft is the third expansion draft of the Philippine Basketball Association (PBA). The draft was held on July 18, 2014, so that the newly founded teams Blackwater Elite and the Kia Sorento could acquire players for the 2014–15 season. A "protect 12" scheme was implemented for the draft, meaning that the 10 existing PBA teams can protect up to 12 players in their rosters and will unconditionally release their unprotected players to the expansion pool. This was the first expansion draft held by the PBA, since Batang Red Bull Energizers entered the league as an expansion team in 2000. The draft will be closed to the public as the final list will be distributed only to the expansion clubs. Players involved will be returned to their original teams if they are not chosen, provided they are unaware of their inclusion in the draft.
