After weeks of speculation, Samahang Basketbol ng Pilipinas president Al Panlilio bared the members of the final Gilas Pilipinas roster for the 2023 FIBA Basketball World Cup, namely Utah Jazz star Jordan Clarkson, June Mar Fajardo, Japeth Aguilar, Kiefer Ravena, CJ Perez, Roger Pogoy, Kai Sotto, Dwight Ramos, Scottie Thompson, AJ Edu, Jamie Malonzo, and Rhenz Abando.
The team opens its World Cup campaign against the Karl Anthony Towns-led Dominican Republic on Friday at the Philippine Arena in Bocaue, Bulacan, before taking on other Group A members Angola and Italy.

The two World Cup teams’ national anthems were played, and the actors/players followed the schedule from the warm-up to the introduction of the final lineup.
