South Sudan

This is the first time South Sudan and the Philippines played against each other. The Philippines lost to South Sudan, with coach Chot Reyes admitting that the team's morale is "really low". [31]

Asked about his career's future, Reyes defers to any decision of the Samahang Basketball ng Pilipinas, national federation would make adding that people already know he has "already retired and left this job several times" and that he has returned to the position on occasions when requested by the SBP since he could not turn down the "call of service for our country". [32]

The lost also meant that the Philippines failed to secure a direct qualification to the Olympics, although they can still get a place in the FIBA Olympic Qualifying Tournament. [33]

Aftermath

Chot Reyes would step down from the head coaching role of the Philippine national team shortly after their final game against China. [36] Reyes has expressed non-interest to get involved in the selection process for his successor who is expected to guide the Philippines at the 2022 Asian Games [lower-alpha 1] in Hangzhou, China. [37]

The Philippines failed to qualify directly for the men's basketball tournament of the 2024 Summer Olympics in Paris via finishing as the best team from FIBA Asia. [38] It was Japan that was able to qualify through this route. [39] The Philippines however qualified for the 2024 FIBA Men's Olympic Qualifying Tournament giving them an alternate route to get into the Olympics. [40]
