GILAS Pilipinas men will not be adding a 12th player to its undermanned roster for the third window of the FIBA World Cup Asian Qualifiers, promising to still wage an all-out fight with only 11 players on deck.
GILAS Pilipinas men will not be adding a 12player to its undermanned roster for the third window of the FIBA World Cup Asian Qualifiers, promising to still wage an all-out fight with only 11 players on deck.
“I think we will go with what we have,” said Mr. Vucinic as Gilas took a blow following the injury of naturalized player Ange Kouame with a meniscal sprain and partial ACL tear as part of its original roster.
It will be a tall order for the younger and undersized Gilas especially without the 6-foot-10 Mr. Kouame but Vucinic is optimistic on the capability of the new but valiant squad. Gilas bowed to New Zealand last February in the Manila window, 88-63, after trouncing India, 88-64, to split its campaign so far in Pool A without South Korea that was disqualified by FIBA for failing to send a team due to COVID-19 issues.
