Gilas Pilipinas had high hopes for the 2023 FIBA World Cup, but they lost all three games in the First Round. Before the match against Italy, head coach Vincent Reyes was booed by the local Araneta Coliseum crowd.
Gilas Pilipinas needed to win the last game of the First Round against Italy by at least 12 points to advance. However, the Italians got a comfortable win 90-83Â (20-23, 28-16, 25-21, 23-17). The hosts got off to a fiery start, leading 18-15 with several minutes remaining in the game. However, the guests controlled the remainder of the game.
Jordan Clarkson is undoubtedly the biggest star of the Gilas Pilipinas roster in the 2023 FIBA World Cup. However, the journey in the Filipino-hosted tournament hasn't been smooth, with the squad taking two losses in the first two games. After first losing to the Dominican Republic in a close 40-minute fight, the Philippines were defeated by Angola on Sunday.
The Philippines' opening night 87-81 loss to the Dominican Republic exposed a major issue for the FIBA World Cup 2023 host team: namely, who can pick up the slack when Jordan Clarkson can't perform to help get the team to the Second Round. Head coach Chot Reyes is still trying to answer that question with a crucial match-up coming up against Angola in Game 2 of their World Cup campaign.
The FIBA World Cup opener couldn't have been scripted better. A record-breaking World Cup setting, with 38,115 fans in a basketball-crazy nation. The overwhelming feeling of awe being in such a grand venue like the Philippine Arena.

With the 2023 FIBA World Cup just around the corner, the biggest star of one of the host countries signed a new business deal. Jordan Clarkson has agreed on a contract to wear basketball shoes from Chinese manufacturer ANTA. The deal is currently only valid for the World Cup.
