I received a lot of love from everybody here.”</p><p>Brownlee previously suited up for the country during the February 2023 window of the World Cupqualifiers, putting up averages of 29.0 points, 8.0 rebounds, 4.0 assists, and a steal per game in a pair of matches, and it is just among the many experiences that the former PBA Best Import of the Conference has with Gilas that he cherishes.</p><p>“It’s just been an honor to represent the Philippines and go out there and give them my all,” he said. </p><p>“I can’t wait to be there and watch the games.”<br/> <br/>Gilas will be continuing its training camp for the World Cup as it heads for China on August 2-5 where it faces Iran, Lebanon and Senegal in a pocket tournament. But it will not be until August 6 when Clarkson will be able to join the Filipino hoopers. </p>

Justin Brownlee will be supporting Gilas from the sidelines at the 2023 FIBA World Cup after Jordan Clarkson’s commitment.
