    RAVAGED by injuries and illness, Gilas Pilipinas' 21-man pool for the 2023 FIBA World Cup is about to get a major manpower boost.

    National team mainstay Dwight Ramos will arrive this Sunday from Los Angeles where he has been training twice a day, according to his agent.

    The 6-foot-4, 210-pound all-purpose guard will then proceed to Laguna to join the Gilas training camp at the Inspire Sports Academy .

      The Fil-Am guard's arrival leaves Jordan Heading, Justine Brownlee and Jamie Malonzo as the only players from the 20-man World Cup pool who have yet to report for training camp.

      Naturalized player Brownlee has arrived in the country but is still ill.

      Ramos injured his ankle last November 13, causing him to miss 15 games in the Japan B.League.

      But he is 100 percent healthy now and ready to rep the flag this August in the World Cup.

      The 24-year old Fil-Am recently signed a contract extension with Levanga Hokkaido, where he averaged 9.5 points, 3.9 rebounds and 2.8 assists per game last season.
