National team career

In 2011, talks were initiated for Clarkson to play for the Philippine national team, also known as Gilas. [53] However, Clarkson did not meet the FIBA eligibility requirements to be considered a Filipino citizen as he acquired his Philippine passport after age 16. He is eligible, though, to play as a "naturalized" player. [54]

Clarkson visited the Philippines in August 2015 on the invitation of Manny Pangilinan, the then-president of Samahang Basketbol ng Pilipinas (SBP), the national basketball federation of the Philippines, to observe the training of Gilas, aside from fulfilling his commitments as an endorser of Smart Communications, which was also presided by Pangilinan. [55] In an interview, SBP Executive Director Sonny Barrios confirmed that Clarkson has carried a Philippine passport since he was 12 did not need to undergo the naturalization process to represent the Philippines in international competitions. [56] Clarkson did not make the final cut due to scheduling conflicts with the Los Angeles Lakers. The Lakers agreed to let Clarkson play, but the NBA collective bargaining agreement requires that national team play should not interfere with the Lakers' team requirements, which expected players to report on September 28; however, the tournament ran until October 3. [57] Clarkson expressed his disappointment that he could not represent the Philippines in the 2015 FIBA Asia Championship. [58] Clarkson was initially included in the 17-man pool for the Philippines lineup for the final Olympic Qualifying Tournament for the 2016 Rio Olympics. [59] However, due to time constraints and a complicated eligibility process, the team instead opted for Andray Blatche as its naturalized player due to lack of size. [60]

In August 2018, the NBA cleared Clarkson to play for the Philippine national team in the 2018 Asian Games that was held from August 18 to September 2, 2018, with a one-time exception, allowing Clarkson to play for the Philippines for the first time. [61] His first game with the national team was against China where Clarkson led all scorers with 28 points but fell short of the match 82–80. [62] In his second game with the national team, Clarkson once again led his team with a 25-point performance but could not overcome Korea. The team bowed out of a podium finish. [63] Clarkson managed to get his first win with the national team, defeating Japan 113–80, in which he recorded 22 points, six rebounds and nine assists. [64] Clarkson ended the tournament with a win, beating Syria 109–55 with a 29-point performance earning the Philippines a fifth-place finish, its best in 16 years. [65]

In August 2022, SBP announced that they have accepted Clarkson as a naturalized player for the fourth window of the 2023 World Cup Asian qualifiers and future FIBA tournaments. [66] On August 25, 2022, Clarkson made his FIBA debut and scored 27 points in a loss against Lebanon in the FIBA World Cup Asian qualifiers. [67]

Clarkson was included in the 21-man pool for the 2023 FIBA World Cup, [68] where he was eventually included in the final 12-man lineup as the team's naturalized player. [69] [70] In conclusion of the 2023 FIBA World Cup, he played 5 games for the Philippines averaging 26.0 points, 4.6 rebounds, 5.2 assists, 1.2 steals, 0.2 blocks in 36 minutes of playing. [71]
