Filipino-American NBA star Jordan Clarkson said he wants to play for Gilas Pilipinas again if the Philippines qualifies for the 2027 FIBA World Cup.
Clarkson, who represented the country in the 2018 Asian Games and 2023 World Cup, said he wants to help represent Filipino athletes on the international stage.
His interest comes as Gilas remains in contention for a World Cup berth while dealing with changes in its naturalized player pool.
Gilas currently sits fifth in its group with a 4-4 record, with the top three teams assured of advancing and a possible spot available to the best fourth-placed team.
Clarkson also expressed hope that fellow Filipino-American players Jalen Green and Dylan Harper could eventually suit up for Gilas.
