It turned out that Gilas Pilipinas head coach Chot Reyes was not only keeping tabs with their group in the 2023 FIBA World Cup but also the fixtures of other Asian teams as that could also play a factor in the country's chances of qualifying to the 2024 Paris Olympics.
“As much as I am looking at our group, I was also looking at what the other Asian teams drew as well because that’s what's gonna determine who is the best placed Asian team. Remember our objective here is to get to the Olympics in 2024. That’s the goal. That’s the dream ,” he added. Jordan, sitting at No. 33, was the unlucky among Asian nations after being drawn in the "Group of Death", joining world No. 2 USA, No. 9 Greece and No. 26 New Zealand, while Lebanon, likewise, faces a daunting task against No. 5 France, No.15 Canada and No. 29 Latvia in Group H.
