Abando and Clarkson will be on the World Cup stage.
“Lens Abando (25, 188cm) has been selected for the Philippine national team to participate in the 2023 FIBA Basketball World Cup.”
The Philippines has yet to officially announce their World Cup final entry. The Philippine Basketball Association sent an official letter to KGC to include Abando’s World Cup final list, and it became known when KGC disclosed this fact on social media.
A KGC official said, “We have an official letter from the Philippine Basketball Association. They said he was included in the final 15 World Cup players. Usually the entry is 12, but considering taking the reserve players, I think it was 15. “From our team’s point of view, Abando’s selection of the national team is also welcome.”
Bando, who joined KGC through the Asian Quarter System last season, was loved by fans for his dunk and block shots that utilized explosive athletic nerves, and averaged 9.0 points and 2.3 rebounds, playing an average of 18 minutes and 38 seconds in 39 regular league games. In the championship match against Seoul SK, he played an average of 30 minutes and 30 seconds, contributing to the KGC victory with 10.1 points and 5.4 rebounds.
After the season, Abando was selected as one of the 21 finalists for the World Cup, and was scheduled for the Philippine men’s basketball team. He recently participated in a friendly match in Shefian, China, played like Altoran, and succeeded in making the 15-man World Cup roster.
Abado played with NBA leaguer Jordan Clarkson in the World Cup. Clarkson is a guard resource that has strengths in offense such as breaking through and three-point shots. Last season, he played 61 regular league games for the Utah Jazz, averaging 32.6 minutes, averaging 20.8 points, 4.0 rebounds, and 4.4 assists. He decided to play in the World Cup for his country, the Philippines.
The 2023 FIBA Basketball World Cup will be co-hosted in the Philippines, Japan and Indonesia from the 25th to September 10th, and the Philippines will be in Group A with Angola, Dominica and Italy to join the KGC after the World Cup schedule.
