Gilas Pilipinas’ path to redemption in the Southeast Asian Games has been set.
The Philippines will go up against host Cambodia, Malaysia, and Singapore in Group A of the SEA Games men’s basketball competition, which will run from May 9 to 16 at the Morodok Techno National Stadium in Phnom Penh.
Eyeing a 19th gold medal out of 22 editions, the national team faces a relatively easier route to the crown, with defending champion Indonesia, contenders Thailand and Vietnam, and Laos duking it out in Group B.
Unlike the Vietnam SEA Games last year where the team with the best record took home the title, the Cambodia tiff will include a playoffs.
Only the top two teams from each group will advance to the crossover semifinals, with the winners of the two final four pairings facing off in the gold medal match.
Here is Gilas Pilipinas’ schedule:
May 9, 2023 | 2PM
Philippines vs. Malaysia
May 11, 2023 | 6PM
Philippines vs. Cambodia
May 13, 2023 | 2PM
Philippines vs. Singapore
Semifinals May 15
Finals May 16
