Quiambao joins Gilas Pilipinas for FIBA qualifiers
Kevin Quiambao will join Gilas Pilipinas for the second window of the 2025 FIBA Asia Cup Qualifiers despite his ongoing duties with La Salle in the UAAP Season 87 men's basketball tournament.
Samahang Basketbol ng Pilipinas (SBP) President Al Panlilio confirmed Quiambao's inclusion, noting that La Salle has games on October 20th and 23rd which do not involve the player.
Quiambao is currently leading La Salle with a 12-2 record and is favored to win his second consecutive MVP award in the UAAP.
The upcoming FIBA window will allow Quiambao to train with Gilas Pilipinas, who will face New Zealand and Hong Kong on November 21st and 24th at the Mall of Asia Arena.
La Salle's coach Topex Robinson believes that this national experience will benefit both Quiambao and the team in the long run.
