The former NBA Sixth Man of the Year will touch down in Manila Tuesday and should join his Gilas teammates in training soon.
Clarkson’s Philippine arrival comes just a little over three weeks before the Nationals embark on its campaign in the World Cup slated from August 25 to September 10.
It was earlier reported that Clarkson was supposed to join Gilas in its recent tune-up games in China, but the plan did not materialize due to visa woes.
