Gilas Pilipinas is getting a first look at the product of its preparations so far for the FIBA 2025 Asia Cup when it takes on the Macau Black Bears in a sendoff game at the Smart Araneta Coliseum, Monday, July 28.
The Nationals are coming off a short training camp in Pampanga and they will get their first real game to test their readiness for the continental tiff against the Black Bears in the 7:30 p.m. affair.
Gilas, of course, is still without Kai Sotto, who is still recovering from a knee injury, while players like June Mar Fajardo, CJ Perez and Calvin Oftana, all of whom saw action in the recently concluded Philippine Cup Finals are unlikely to participate in the friendly.
