Already qualified as one of the hosts, the Pinoys will still be gunning for a sweep as it sits with an even 3-3 record in Group E. With Jordan Clarkson in the August window, the Philippine team went 1-2.
First up for Gilas will be Jordan before one final clash against Saudi Arabia three days after as countries make one final push to make it to next year's big dance.
Here are the Philippines' schedule for the upcoming window:
Nov. 11 (Friday)
12 a.m. - Jordan vs Philippines
Prince Hamza Hall, Amman
Nov. 14 (Monday)
12 a.m. - Saudi Arabia vs Philippines
King Abdullah Sports City, Jeddah
One Sports hasn't released an official schedule yet, but as the case in the past windows, Gilas Pilipinas games will be shown live as the official Fiba broadcaster in the country.
