Strong Group Athletics (SGA) aims for redemption in the 34th Dubai International Basketball Championship, having fallen short in last year's final.

The Philippine team, guided by coach Charles Tiu, faces a potent mix of formidable imports and reliable locals in this year's tournament.

SGA's campaign begins against the UAE National Team on Friday, January 24.

Key players for SGA include four-time NBA All-Star DeMarcus Cousins, former NBA players Chris McCullough and Malachi Richardson, and Gilas Pilipinas naturalized player Andray Blatche.

Last year, SGA, led by Dwight Howard and Kevin Quiambao, lost to Al Riyadi on a buzzer-beater, a loss that has motivated their return.
