Washington Wizards forward Kyle Kuzma expressed interest in potentially playing for the Philippines national basketball team alongside former teammate Jordan Clarkson. In an interview, Kuzma mentioned that if he doesn't make the Team USA roster, he would be excited to represent the Philippines, stating, 'I could rock out with JC [Jordan Clarkson].' However, FIBA rules allow only one naturalized player per team, and Clarkson is already designated as such due to his Filipino heritage. Kuzma's comments follow a successful season where he averaged over 22 points per game, and his recent trip to the Philippines has increased interest in his potential involvement with the national team. Meanwhile, Clarkson humorously commented on YouTuber iShowSpeed's recent injury while playing basketball in the Philippines, adding to the narrative surrounding the two athletes. The possibility of Kuzma joining Clarkson on the Philippine team remains to be seen, pending naturalization processes and roster rules.
