Gilas Pilipinas held its first practice in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia, in preparation for the FIBA Asia Cup. The Samahang Basketbol ng Pilipinas shared photos of the national team’s training session on Friday, just hours after their arrival in Saudi Arabia.
The practice session marks an important step for the team as they adjust to the presence of June Mar Fajardo, who recently rejoined the squad following a demanding PBA finals series against Gilas teammate Calvin Oftana and the TNT Tropang 5G.
