MANILA, Philippines -- Reigning NCAA Most Valuable Player Rhenz Abando will complete the Gilas Pilipinas roster for the 2022 FIBA Asia Cup in Jakarta, Indonesia.
Abando's inclusion to the team was approved during the technical committee meeting on Monday night, according to Gilas Pilipinas team manager and Samahang Basketbol ng Pilipinas (SBP) deputy executive director Butch Antonio.
The standout from Colegio de San Juan de Letran replaces Dwight Ramos, who was ruled out of the tournament over a shin injury.
