TIM Cone expects the 12-man Gilas Pilipinas squad to be present when the national squad regroups on June 21 at the Inspire Sports Academy in Calamba, Laguna.
Cone said he'll be 'cognizant' of the players, who just came from a tough PBA Philippine Cup Finals, which Meralco won, 4-2 against powerhouse San Miguel Beer on Sunday.'We will be cognizant of the players that just finished the Finals during our practice routines,' Cone told The Manila Times.

Cone confirmed that Gilas' build up for the FIBA OQT involves a tuneup match versus Turkey on June 24, though details of that friendly game are still being ironed out as of the moment.'Yes we will have a practice game on the 24th that will be announced later in the week. That's the agreement,' shared Cone.
