The Filipino-American guard also suited up for Gilas Pilipinas in the Fiba World Cup hosted by the Philippines. However, Ramos missed the country’s gold medal campaign in the Hangzhou Asian Games last month.

The league also announced on Wednesday that there is a record number of international players in the league as of opening night at 125. NBA players who have ties to the Philippines are Utah Jazz’s Jordan Clarkson and Houston Rockets’ Jalen Green.
