Gilas Pilipinas coach Chot Reyes has asked several members of the Philippine national training pool to get adequate rest first before joining their practices for the FIBA World Cup and the Asian Games.
This is why the team will not have a full lineup when the FIBA Asia Cup kicks off on Friday in China.
“We have pin-pointed several players whom we want to rest,” said Reyes, citing Marc Pingris, Gabe Norwood, Jeffrei Chan, Jasyon Castro, Larry Fonacier and Jimmy Alapag as among those on the “recovery list.”
“Jayson is going to undergo a knee procedure and then Larry Fonacier has a bad back. Jimmy Alapag we asked to rest as well,” explained the Gilas coach.
