Jamie Malonzo, Geo Chiu join Gilas squad for SEA Games
Gilas Pilipinas added forward Jamie Malonzo and center Geo Chiu to its men’s basketball roster for next month’s Southeast Asian Games in Thailand after ruling out naturalized player Justin Brownlee due to eligibility issues. Team officials selected Malonzo, a former Barangay Ginebra standout, and Chiu, the current Abra center in the MPBL, to bolster the wing and frontcourt rotation. The Samahang Basketbol ng Pilipinas coordinates with SEA Games organizers on eligibility and accreditation as Gilas finalizes its lineup, training schedule and travel plans for the regional tournament.
