由于多处受伤，贾斯汀·布朗利（Justin Brownlee）将缺席周一菲律宾男篮对阵澳大利亚的比赛。菲律宾篮球协会（Samahang Basketbol ng Pilipinas）证实，这位38岁的球员将错过在珀斯举行的国际篮联世界杯亚洲区预选赛。
布朗利目前正饱受右腿腿筋拉伤和腓骨肌腱炎的困扰，同时还伴有左膝肿胀和软骨缺损。在7月3日球队以106-102经过双加时惜败新西兰的比赛中，他仅贡献了5分。
菲律宾男篮主教练蒂姆·科恩（Tim Cone）称赞了凯文·基安巴奥（Kevin Quiambao）、胡安·戈麦斯·德利亚尼奥（Juan Gomez de Liaño）和卡尔·塔马约（Carl Tamayo）等年轻球员的成长。在对阵新西兰的失利中，他们联手打出了强有力的得分表现，球队也正力求改善目前在A组2胜3负的战绩。
菲律宾队将面对保持不败的澳大利亚队，后者场均净胜对手23.8分。如果能够获胜，将有助于菲律宾队冲击2027年世界杯的参赛资格。
