Chot awaits players from Japan B.League

GILAS Pilipinas is again in a race against time as national coach Chot Reyes faces a number of health and player's availability issues that serve as roadblocks to the Philippine team's buildup for the November window of the FIBA World Cup Asian qualifiers.

Meralco star Chris Newsome is still recovering from a calf injury, while San Miguel Beer's star slotman June Mar Fajardo is already out of the roster due to his recent throat surgery.
