This will be Clarkson’s third visit to the country after coming home twice a year ago. The 23 year old attended Gilas practices a year ago and was a spectator during the National team’s campaign in the 2015 FIBA Asia Championships.
After the Nike event, Clarkson will be present for the Gilas practices over the weekend.
In a surprise to fans, the Los Angeles Laker will also watch the Ateneo de Manila University Blue Eagles and De La Salle University Green Archers tilt on Sunday, March 29 as confirmed by Filoil Flying V Centre manager Joey Guillermo.
“It is what they said,” Guillermo said. “We are preparing and we have to add more security for it.”
