Kevin Kembao (Sono) and Carl Tamayo (LG) will meet at the Philippine national team.
The Philippine local media 'Daily Tribune' reported on the 31st (Korea Standard Time) that "Kembao will join the Philippine men's basketball team on behalf of Kaisoto (Koshigaya), who left due to an injury."
Recently, a major negative factor has hit the Philippines. Soto, the 220-centimeter-tall big man, left due to an anterior cruciate ligament injury. Soto, a member of the Koshigaya Alpha in the Japanese B. League, collapsed on the left knee in a showdown with Seahos Mikawa on the 5th. After undergoing a thorough examination, he was found to have ruptured the anterior cruciate ligament of his knee. He is out for the season.
The Philippines will play at the 2nd Doha Invitational Cup, which will be played against Qatar, Lebanon and Egypt in Doha, Qatar from March 14 to 16. The team will then face off against Taiwan (on June 20) and New Zealand (on June 23) in the preliminary round of the 2025 FIBA Asia Cup. 메이저사이트
The Philippines selected Kembao in place of Soto, who was sidelined due to injury. Kembao, who joined Goyang Sono after finishing his university league schedule in the Philippines, suffered an ankle injury in the match against SK in Seoul on the 13th, his debut match in the KBL. Having devoted himself to recovery and rehabilitation, he made his comeback in a match against Anyang Jeonggwanjang on the 28th. Sono suffered a crushing defeat of 69-94, but left a strong impression with 14 points, four rebounds, and five assists.
Coach Korn of the Philippine men's basketball team said, "Kembao is okay now. We have had enough conversations. He will head to Doha with us. We have to wait and see for him in the national team. His ankle is not perfect yet, but he is 100 percent ready."
Meanwhile, the Daily Tribune revealed that Tamayo, along with Kembao, were also on the list. Troy Rosario, Junmar Farardo, Scottie Tamson, Chris Newsom, Calvin Optana, CJ Perez, Dwight Ramos, Mason Amos, Jamie Malonzo, and AJ Edu also joined the team. Justin Brownlee has joined the team.
Tamayo, the ace player of Changwon LG, is close to the national team of the Philippines. He played an average of 12.5 minutes in four qualifying matches for the Asian Cup, recording 8.3 points, 3.3 rebounds, and 1.0 assists. Expectations are high on how Kembao and Tamayo will perform for the Philippine national team.
