While there is no official word as of press time, Cone said the idea of Millora-Brown donning a Pilipinas jersey is one they would be eager to explore.
“Nothing official yet but we’re certainly excited about putting him in the lineup if it does become official,” said the veteran tactician in a text message.
The last time the State U product and Gilas Pilipinas crossed paths was two weeks ago when Millora-Brown’s squad came to town and played the national team for a friendly.

After the game, Millora-Brown also expressed interest in playing for the Nationals in the future.
“It’ll be amazing to be able to play [for Gilas]. I have so much respect for all of those guys,” said QMB.
“To have the ability to play for your country is amazing so if that comes up, there’s no way I can turn it down,” he added.
