tv Gilas Pilipinas head coach Yeng Guiao said he remains hopeful that FIBA, the sport's world-governing body, would give Jordan Clarkson the green light to play for his side as a local.
But he acknowledged that the chance of getting the Cleveland Cavaliers guard is getting slimmer as their first play date in the 2019 FIBA World Cup fast approaches. "As the days go by, the chances are getting slimmer, but I'm still not losing hope," Guiao said on ANC's "Gametime" on Wednesday. Clarkson wore the national team colors in the 2018 Asian Games in Jakarta after getting a special clearance from the NBA.
However, his eligibility for the FIBA World Cup remains uncertain, as Guiao needs him to play as a local because Andray Blatche is already the Philippines' naturalized player."Siguro 1 week before we leave for China, if he's not given the go signal by FIBA before then baka too late na," Guiao said.Gilas will be flying to China for the World Cup on August 29.
