Phillips ready for SEAG call
La Salle's Mike Phillips has expressed his eagerness to represent Gilas Pilipinas in the 33rd Southeast Asian Games in Thailand this December.
Phillips, considered the top collegiate big man in the Philippines, is motivated by his previous SEA Games gold medal experience.
He noted that the UAAP Season 88 potentially ending earlier could open opportunities for him to join the national team.
Phillips was a key member of the Gilas "Redeem Team" that won gold in the 32nd SEA Games in Cambodia.
He is among three collegiate players on the pro-backed squad, alongside Jerom Lastimosa and Mason Amos.
