Team USA head coach Steve Kerr said he was excited to arrive in the Philippines for the first time, as he expects the team to have a good time knowing how passionate the Filipino hoops fans are.
“I am so excited to go to Manila. I have never been to the Philippines, so this will be fun,” the Golden State Warriors mentor said.
“I know how popular basketball is (in the Philippines), so this will be a lot of fun. We’re really excited,” he added.
Team USA is set to play their group stage matches at the SM Mall of Asia Arena in Pasay City.
