Quentin Millora-Brown recognized as a local by FIBA, SBP confirms
It's official: Quentin Millora-Brown is classified as a local by FIBA. The Samahang Basketbol ng Pilipinas (SBP) confirmed the development on Friday. "We're pleased with the update from FIBA because a player of his size and skill can make a positive impact for Gilas Pilipinas Men," SBP president Al Panlilio said in a statement. With this development, Millora-Brown can now be included in the lineup of locals for the Philippine national team. Earlier, national team head coach Tim Cone said Millora-Brown's addition would be exciting if his status were confirmed. Millora-Brown's name had been floated as a possible addition to the national team even before the Philippines' stint in the FIBA Asia Cup. He also played for the Macau Black Bears in a tune-up game against Gilas Pilipinas ahead of the tournament. Born in the United States, the 6-foot-10 Millora-Brown is the grandson of a Filipino doctor. In 2024, he helped lead the University of the Philippines Fighting Maroons to the UAAP Season 87 men's basketball title. —JKC, GMA Integrated News

Photos of the training were shared by the Samahang Basketbol ng Pilipinas (SBP), giving fans a glimpse of the national squad's preparations. The team is currently adjusting to the return of veteran big man June Mar Fajardo, who recently wrapped up a grueling PBA Finals series against fellow Gilas member Calvin Oftana and the TNT Tropang Giga. 'I'd like to get some practice time with June Mar. It's really important that we adjust to his presence,' said Gilas head coach Tim Cone. Meanwhile, Oftana has been cleared to play after recovering from injuries sustained during the PBA Philippine Cup Finals. Gilas will begin its FIBA Asia Cup campaign on August 6 against Chinese Taipei.
