    Kai Sotto, Gilas update

    Kai Sotto

    KAI Sotto will be back with Gilas Pilipinas for the fifth window of the Fiba Basketball World Cup qualifiers next month, according to sources.

    The Philippine men’s basketball team is looking to boost its frontcourt as June Mar Fajardo, who has yet to suit up in the qualifiers, has been ruled out of the November games due to a throat injury sustained in the PBA Commissioner’s Cup.

    SPIN.ph sources said all is clear for Sotto, who is in his second season with the Adelaide 36ers, to join the Philippine team.

    Gilas has two away games, taking on Jordan on Nov. 10 and Saudi Arabia on Nov. 13.
