The Philippines national basketball team is led by head coach Tim Cone.
Cone was made permanent head coach in January 2024, after being named interim coach for the 2022 Asian Games in September 2024 following the resignation of Chot Reyes after the 2023 FIBA Basketball World Cup.[1]
2024 is marked by the scheduled participation of the Philippine national team in the 2024 FIBA Men's Olympic Qualifying Tournament in Riga in Latvia[2] and the 2025 FIBA Asia Cup qualifiers.[3]
Prior to their departure for Latvia for the Olympic qualifier, played a tune-up with the Taiwan Mustangs at home.[4] They also went to Poland and Turkey to play further games against those countries' respective national teams.[5][6]
At the Olympic Qualifying Tournament in Latvia, they would upset the host country's national team which is their first win over a European team in an official FIBA game since 1960.[7] They would lose to Georgia but advance to the semifinals due to point differential.[8] Their progress was not expected with return flights originally booked under the assumption the team won't progress to the semifinals.[9] Brazil would end their Olympic qualifying bid.[10]
