Manila Chooks in 2021 Fiba 3x3 World Tour Abu Dhabi Masters
The Filipino pro team, which is seeded 12th in the 14-team tourney, is placed in Pool D where it will take on world no. 4 Liman of Serbia and world no. 5 Amsterdam Talent&Pro of the Netherlands.
Veteran forward Mark Yee is coming in for the Manila squad as he replaces Cameroonian big man Mike Nzeusseu, who suffered a minor left hand fracture.
"I tried but I could not give my 100-percent if I played with this injury," said the former Lyceum center.
Also part of the squad are Mac Tallo, Chico Lanete, and Zachy Huang.

Manila will first take on Liman at 10:20 p.m. on Friday, before facing Amsterdam at 2:45 a.m. on Saturday.
Only the top two teams in the pool will advance to the knockout rounds.
Manila is hopeful to make a bigger mark this time after failing to make it through the qualifying rounds in the Doha and Montreal Masters.
