Ligang labas is a Tagalog language term for playing in a sports league (almost always basketball) other than where a player's team is primarily playing. Translated as "outside league" (or, "league that's not ours"), ligang labas are small pocket tournaments outside the televised leagues. This was also a description by former Philippine Basketball Association (PBA) players on the leagues that they've played at after leaving the PBA. Alaska's Calvin Abueva and Gabby Espinas escaped suspension when caught in a ligang labas game in 2013.
