The Samahang Basketbol ng Pilipinas did its best to have Fil-Am NBA player Jordan Clarkson join Gilas. In fact, the Los Angeles Lakers Management has allowed Clarkson to play for the Philippine Team as long as it will not conflict with the schedule of the NBA. However, under this arrangement, Clarkson can only participate in the elimination phase of the tournament

Clarkson himself realizes that his inclusion to the Philippine Team at this late hour may possibly distract the focus of the team.
Now, the team shall move forward as a solid squad to fight for the national pride.
