Gilas Pilipinas will have to tame a familiar face when it goes up against the Macau Black Bears in a tuneup game at the Smart Araneta Coliseum Monday, July 28.

That's because they will collide against Quentin Millora-Brown — one of the key players in University of the Philippines's triumph over La Salle in the UAAP last season.

The game is part of Gilas’ buildup for the 2025 FIBA Asia Cup in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia next month.

Recently, the Black Bears shared the signing of the 6-foot-10 Fil-American center, who had a successful one-and-done stint with the Fighting Maroons, claiming the UAAP Season 87 men’s basketball crown.
