The Gilas Pilipinas men's basketball team are out for a revenge tour in the 2023 Southeast Asian Games (SEA Games) in Cambodia after losing to Indonesia in the last edition of the SEA Games. It may not be easy as Cambodia hired the services of naturalized imports to beef up their roster and ensure a win in their home court.
Be that as it may, the Gilas Pilipinas Basketball Team is still a contender in the region. Justin Brownlee who was recently naturalized as a Filipino will carry the team in its redemption bid.
Other members of the squad are Christian Standhardinger, Chris Newsome, Arvin Tolentino, Calvin Oftana, Michael Phillips, Jerom Lastimosa, Mason Amos, CJ Perez, Chris Ross, Marcio Lassiter and Brandon Ganuelas-Rosser. Check out the full lineup below.
