Gilas Pilipinas enters final phase of training

THE last three tune-up matches of the Philippine men's basketball team that started on Friday night, August 18, against Cote d'Ivoire (Ivory Coast) will give Jordan Clarkson the opportunity he needs to adjust to the Gilas Pilipinas system and his teammates just over a week after arriving in Manila.

The 6-foot-5 Clarkson will be spearheading Gilas' friendly matches that also include the Nic Vucevic-led Montenegro team on Sunday, August 20, and the Mexican team on Monday, August 21.
