rowspan="3" | Bay Area Dragons{{flagicon|USA}} Myles Powell{{refn|name=bay|group=note|For the Bay Area Dragons guest team, its entire roster is composed of non-Filipinos. For purposes of the import and the height-limit, all Chinese citizens (including Hong Kong nationals) are considered "locals", while non-Chinese are imports, and only one non-Chinese can play at a game. Aside from being guest in the PBA, they are a franchise team of the East Asia Super League (EASL). In the 2022–23 East Asia Super League, a team is allowed to have two non-Asian imports. The Dragons have two non-Asians on their roster, Canadian Andrew Nicholson and the American Myles Powell. The Dragons played each player for four consecutive games each, but chose which one of them to play with on their ninth games onwards.{{Cite web |title=Why Dragons is playing 6-foot-2 Myles Powell instead of a bigger import |url=https://www.spin.ph/basketball/pba/why-dragons-parade-6-foot-2-myles-powell-as-commissioner-s-cup-import-a793-20220921 |access-date=September 21, 2022 |website=Spin.ph |language=en}} The team chose Powell as the team's final import starting their ninth game,{{cite web|url=https://pba.ph/news/ros-bay-area-replace-imports-for-crucial-face-off|title=ROS, Bay Area replace imports for crucial face off|website=pba.ph|date=November 10, 2022|accessdate=November 10, 2022}} but the team activated Nicholson during the start of the quarterfinals due to Powell's injury.{{cite web|last=Ramos|first=Gerry|url=https://www.spin.ph/basketball/pba/bay-area-dragons-import-switch-andrew-nicholson-myles-powell-a793-20221208 |title=Bay Area activates Nicholson vs RoS, puts Powell on reserve list|website=spin.ph|date=December 8, 2022|accessdate=December 8, 2022}} Eventually they chose Nicholson to be their import for the rest of the conference.{{cite web|last=Terrado|first=Reuben|url=https://www.spin.ph/basketball/pba/nicholson-not-powell-will-be-bay-area-import-vs-ginebra-a795-20221221 |title=Nicholson, not Powell, will be Bay Area import vs Ginebra in PBA Finals|website=spin.ph|date=December 21, 2022|accessdate=December 21, 2022}} However, Nicholson sustained an injury during game 3 of the Finals which forced him to miss both games 4 and 5.{{cite web|last=Sayson|first=Homer|url=https://www.spin.ph/basketball/pba/bay-area-import-andrew-nicholson-unfit-to-play-in-game-5-a2244-20230108 |title=Bay Area import Andrew Nicholson declared unfit to play in Game 5|website=spin.ph|date=January 8, 2023|accessdate=January 10, 2023}} He was replaced by Powell for the final time during games 6 and 7.{{cite web|last=Ramos|first=Gerry|url=https://www.spin.ph/basketball/pba/myles-powell-reactivated-ginebra-vs-bay-area-game-6-andrew-nicholson-a793-20230110|title=Myles Powell reactivated as Bay Area tries to drag Ginebra to Game Seven |website=spin.ph|date=January 10, 2023|accessdate=January 10, 2023}} }}September 21, 2022 {{small|(vs. Blackwater)}}January 15, 2023 {{small|(vs. Barangay Ginebra)}}9–1
