The Philippine men's national team will be back in action on July 25 when they compete in the King Abdullah Cup in Jordan.

The tournament, which runs until August 3, will help Gilas Pilipinas prepare for the FIBA Asia Cup 2021.

Gilas Pilipinas Men will once again be led by program director and head coach Tab Baldwin with Jong Uichico, Boyet Fernandez, Sandy Arespacochaga, and Sandro Soriano assisting him. "Entering the bubble is forced on all of us since we are heading to Jordan on the 23rd. It's the long-term vision of the program that we have to look at here. We have to take advantage of every minute of games that we can get," said Baldwin.

Rejoining the pool from the injured list are Dave Ildefonso and 2019 Gilas Special Draftees Matt Nieto, Allyn Bulanadi, and Rey Suerte. Thirdy Ravena is also in the pool with Kenmark Carino, Jaydee Tungcab, and Tzaddy Rangel. "Jordan has always been one of the better teams in Asia so going up against them should be beneficial for our young squad. We’re also looking forward to going up against Saudi Arabia, Egypt, and Tunisia," he added.
