BASKETBALLERS CLINGING ON TO WORLD CUP HOPE AFTER DEFEAT

Jordan’s hopes of reaching the FIBA World Cup have narrowed following defeat to The Philippines, 74-66, at Prince Hamzah Hall in Al-Hussein Youth City.
The defeat leaves the national team in fourth place in Group Five with 10 points, but they are not out of the running yet with a match against New Zealand on Sunday at Prince Hamzah Hall, before facing India and the Philippines in February next year for the sixth and final window of the Asian qualifiers.
