The Philippines men's national basketball team, led by head coach Chot Reyes qualified for the 2017 FIBA Asia Cup and the first round of the 2019 FIBA Basketball World Cup Asian qualifiers by earning the sole Southeast Asia berth at the 2017 SEABA Championship. In the first round of the FIBA Basketball World Cup qualifiers the Philippines was grouped with Australia, Japan and Chinese Taipei. They won over Japan in Tokyo and secured a win over Chinese Taipei at home in Quezon City. They will play against the two teams one more time as well as Australia twice in 2018.
Furthermore, two separate national teams were formed for both the 2017 FIBA Asia Cup and the Southeast Asian Games due to the overlapping schedule of the two competitions. Reyes mentored the team that participated in the FIBA Asia Cup while Jong Uichico coached the team that played at the Southeast Asian Games.
Prior to the FIBA Asia Cup stint the national team participated at the 2017 William Jones Cup.
