Justin Brownlee ‘highly motivated’ for Gilas bid after PBA Finals loss
Naturalized player Justin Brownlee is confirmed to be ready and eager to lead Gilas Pilipinas in their upcoming 2025 FIBA Asia Cup qualifiers.
Gilas head coach Tim Cone assured that Brownlee is in good health and highly motivated, especially after Barangay Ginebra's PBA Governors' Cup finals loss.
Cone noted Brownlee's past performances when highly motivated, citing his leadership in the historic Asian Games gold medal win.
