After the controversial brawl between the Gilas Pilipinas and Australoa Boomers a few weeks ago and receiving lots of penalties, suspension, fines, and as well being under probation from FIBA, the Samahang Basketball ng Pilipinas has decided not to participate in the upcoming Asian Games in Jakarta/Palembang, Indonesia next month. That was despite the efforts of Rain or Shine owners Terry Que and Raymund Yu to sponsor a team that will be mostly composed of players from Rain or Shine.
The Philippines placed 7th in the last Asian Games back in 2014 held in Incheon, South Korea and last won a title in the Asian Games back in Indonesia in 1962. Meanwhile here's the full statement of SBP.
