Limitless Appmasters to banner Gilas 3x3 in SEA Games; Bernardino, Pontejos return for Gilas Women 3x3

The Limitless Appmasters are set to defend the country's 3x3 basketball title in the 31st Southeast Asian Games as they were tapped by the Samahang Basketbol ng Pilipinas (SBP) to banner Gilas Pilipinas for the 3x3 event.

The Appmasters, composed of Brandon Ganuelas-Rosser, Jorey Napoles, Reymar Caduyac, and Marvin Hayes, have won a couple of titles in the PBA 3x3, earning their rights to represent the flag.

Limitless won the last two legs of the first conference en route to ruling the inaugural grand finals against Platinum Karaoke late last year.

The squad will try to replicate what CJ Perez, Mo Tautuaa, Chris Newsome, and Jason Perkins had done in the 2019 SEA Games, where the country took home the maiden 3x3 title.

In the women's side, SBP retained Clare Castro, Janine Pontejos, and Afril Bernardino, while taking the place of injured Jack Animam is youngster Camille Clarin.

They will also try to defend the country's gold medal after Gilas Pilipinas Women 3x3 ruled the 2019 edition against Thailand.
