The Philippines won’t be sending a team to the FIBA Asia Champions’ Cup, the governing body’s top club competition slated on October 13 to 21 in Beirut, Lebanon.
But the reason for the lack of participation is not a boycott, but rather, a problem with communication involving FIBA Asia secretary-general Hagop Khajirian.
Samahang Basketbol ng Pilipinas executive director Sonny Barrios had earlier sought clarification with Khajirian about which team had the right to represent the country in the club competition, but received a reply when it was already too late to form a team.
