CLEVELAND, Ohio -- Jordan Clarkson will join the Philippines' national team for the Asian Games after all.
Clarkson is scrambling to make it to Indonesia for the start of pool play in what amounts to the Asian Olympics, after the NBA reversed its earlier decision and is allowing its players to participate.
Clarkson, 26, is a Filipino-American and Cavaliers guard. He averaged 12.6 points in 28 games for the Cavs last season.
"My heart is full of gratitude for everyone who helped make this happen," Clarkson said in a Facebook post, reacting to the NBA's decision to let him and others participate.
