Playing for one of the host countries, Utah Jazz guard Jordan Clarkson will have his hands full as he tries to lead the Philippines in the upcoming 2023 FIBA World Cup that tips off this Friday (Manila time). Here’s a primer of what to expect from Clarkson and the rest of the team!
The former Sixth Man of the Year, though having Filipino blood, will be suiting up as the Philippines’ naturalized player for the tournament. This will officially be the third appearance of Clarkson with Gilas Pilipinas – with stints back in the 2018 Asian Games and the FIBA World Cup Qualifiers.
