Gilas Pilipinas will try to defend its home turf as it hosts Lebanon and Jordan in the sixth and final window of the FIBA World Cup Asian Qualifiers this February.
The home games will witness the national team debut of naturalized player Justin Brownlee as he links up with his Barangay Ginebra teammates, bolstering the Philippines’ bid of ending the Asian Qualifiers on a high note.
Carrying a 5-3 record in Group E, the Filipinos eye redemption against the Lebanese after being dealt an 85-81 loss in their first encounter in August and seek to replicate their 74-66 win over the Jordanians last November.
