Kai Sotto is set to arrive in Manila this Monday night in hopes of joining Gilas Pilipinas in the third window of the FIBA Asia Cup Qualifiers on June 16 to 20 in a bubble setup in Clark, Pampanga.
The Samahang Basketbol ng Pilipinas (SBP), led by its president Al Panlilio, arranged the travel itinerary of the 7-foot-3 Sotto, who is arriving at 9:45 p.m. from Narita, Japan.
“He actually had connecting flights from Connecticut to Dallas in the US, and had a stopover in Narita, then to Manila. He’s traveling by himself for the first time and we have to give it to the guy,” said Ryan Gregorio, Special Assistant to the President of the SBP.
