The Los Angeles Lakers cleared Clarkson to participate early last week per the NBA’s Collective Bargaining Agreement that gives players the right to compete in international play baring any injury concerns.

Early reports last week had the 2015 NBA All-Rookie First Team selection passing on the opportunity to represent the Philippines National Team.

Clarkson’s desire to represent the Philippines in FIBA play stems from his mother who is half-Filipino.
