The last time Gilas played on home soil was in August, when a Jordan Clarkson-led squad annihilated Saudi Arabia, 84-46, in the Fiba Asian qualifying round at Mall of Asia Arena.
The event played host to over 19,829 basketball enthusiasts.
The SBP and Gilas expect that number to increase as the Philippine Arena has a seating capacity of 55,000.
“I know Filipinos got my back and I got theirs as well. I appreciate everybody. We’re just getting started. (So), support us, support the coaching staff, and support everybody,” said Clarkson in the same game after finishing with 23 points, six rebounds, and six assists.
