The Samahang Basketbol ng Pilipinas (SBP) officially announced the roster, which will be led by head coach Tim Cone and feature a mix of national team regulars and returning standouts.

The final lineup includes Rhenz Abando, Bennie Boatwright, AJ Edu, Juan Gomez de Liano, Quentin Millora-Brown, Chris Newsome, CJ Perez, Mike Phillips, Kevin Quiambao, Dwight Ramos, Kai Sotto and Scottie Thompson.

Gilas enters the second round with a 4-4 record and faces two crucial matchups in Malaysia as it continues its campaign for a spot in the 2027 World Cup.

The Philippines will take on Syria on Nov. 27 at 8 p.m., followed by a clash against Iran on Nov. 29, also at 8 p.m.

Both games will be played in Malaysia, with the national team looking to strengthen its position in the Asian Qualifiers.
