2019 FIBA World Cup Qualifiers

Fajardo, Rosario, Pogoy still missing in Gilas practice


Just 12 days before the 2019 FIBA World Cup opens its curtains, three key pieces from Gilas Pilipinas were still missing.

June Mar Fajardo, Troy Rosario, and Roger Pogoy were still absent during Monday’s sessions.

All three played in the 2019 PBA Commissioner’s Cup Finals, where the San Miguel Beermen triumphed over the TNT Katropa in six games.

All three are expected to return to national team duties on Tuesday, August 20, when Gilas begins its daily practice.

In attendance for the session were Japeth Aguilar, Gabe Norwood, Mark Barroca, Paul Lee, Andray Blatche, JP Erram, Raymond Almazan, Beau Belga, Kiefer Ravena, Matthew Wright, Robert Bolick, and CJ Perez.

Gilas will figure in a pair of tuneups against the visiting Australian ball club Adelaide 36ers in August 23 and 25 as part of their preparations for the World Cup.
