Sunday All-star Game

David Noel was named as the All-Star MVP for that leg.

Rosters Starters for the North and South teams were chosen by fan vote. PBA coaches then selected the reserves. PBA Commissioner Sonny Barrios also selected four imports for both teams. For this year, starters and imports for both teams were then combined to form a PBA selection that faced off against Powerade-Team Pilipinas. This would be the second time in league history the Philippine national team would play in the All-Star game and the first since 1998. As Chot Reyes of the Talk 'N Text Tropang Texters and Tim Cone of the Alaska Aces had led their teams to the 2008–09 Philippine Cup finals, they were selected as the head coaches for the North and South teams respectively, with Reyes handling the combined teams for their match against Team Pilipinas as he had won the championship.

The All-Star Game starters for the North and South teams were announced on April 7, 2009. Marc Pingris, Lordy Tugade, Enrico Villanueva, Paul Artadi and Macmac Cardona were announced as the starters for the North team, while Dondon Hontiveros, Jimmy Alapag, Danny Seigle, Eric Menk, and Jay Washington were announced as the starters for the South team. Tugade and Seigle were unable to play due to injuries, so their spots were given to Danny Ildefonso and Dorian Peña respectively, as they were next in line in the fan voting. Ildefonso then backed out of the All-Star game, as his six-year-old daughter was scheduled for chemotherapy treatment on the same day. His spot was not replaced.

The All-Star Game reserves for the North and South teams were announced on April 14, 2009. Jay-R Reyes, Gary David, LA Tenorio, Gabby Espinas, and Joseph Yeo were announced as the reserves for the North team, while PJ Simon, Reynel Hugnatan, John Ferriols, JR Quiñahan and Ronald Tubid were announced as the reserves for the South team.

The All-Star Game imports for the North and South teams were announced on April 17, 2009. Tiras Wade, Shawn Daniels and Jhamar Thorpe were announced as the imports for the North team, while Rosell Ellis, Jeff Varem and James Penny were selected as the imports for the South team. Thorpe became a starter for the North team. Anthony Johnson, Jai Lewis, Gabe Freeman, and David Noel were selected as the imports for the combined North and South teams.
