EXCITEMENT filled the air on Wednesday night when Jordan Clarkson wore a Gilas Pilipinas uniform for the first time and joined the national team practice at the Meralco gym.
The Filipino-American rising NBA star, who's in town as the newest endorser of Smart, took part in some of the drills of a Gilas side that's preparing for the Fiba Asia Championship next month.

The SBP has barred media from interviewing Clarkson.
