2023 FIBA World Cup

Gilas down to just 10 men vs India as Dave Ildefonso ruled out


Gilas Pilipinas will only have 10 healthy bodies when they take on India to close out the third window of the 2023 FIBA World Cup Asian Qualifiers on Sunday at the SM Mall of Asia Arena in Pasay City.

Dave Ildefonso has been ruled out of the game after sustaining a knee injury he suffered from the Philippines’ road game against New Zealand last Thursday.

Ildefonso got two rebounds in just six minutes of action against the Tall Blacks.

The 6-foot winger also missed 2022 KB Kookmin Bank Invitational last month due to an ankle injury.

Meanwhile, Carl Tamayo will play through the right ankle sprain he sustained against the Tall Blacks.
