The Tall Blacks will travel to Manila, Philippines for the FIBA World Cup Qualifiers, taking on the Philippines, Korea and India over four games from 24 – 28 February.
New Zealand are one of 16 nations vying for Asia and Oceania’s seven spots in the FIBA Basketball World Cup 2023, which is currently in the first round of qualifications.
