The fabled Gilas Mondays returned on Monday, August 15, at the Meralco Gym.
The closed-doors session featured head coach Chot Reyes and his staff, which includes Tim Cone and Josh Reyes. The staff oversaw some shooting drills and an emphasis on fast ball movement.
Among the notable attendees from the players side are NLEX Road Warriors Kevin Alas and Calvin Oftana, and Northport's Jamie Malonzo. Other players will eventually get to join these sessions, in particular once the semifinals of the ongoing PBA All-Filipino Conference concludes.
Samahang Basketbol ng Pilipinas Executive Director and spokesperson Sonny Barrios was also present and assured those present of the support and prayers from the whole basketball community.
The team, which is expected to be bannered by Jordan Clarkson and Kai Sotto, will be taking part in two FIBA World Cup Qualifying matches: the first against Lebanon at Beirut in the early morning of the 26th (Manila time), followed by a matchup versus Saudi Arabia at the Mall of Asia Arena on the 29th.
The Qualifiers will help determine which nations will help comprise the Asian delegation for the FIBA World Cup, with the 19th iteration taking place in Japan, Indonesia, and the Philippines.
