Marcus Douthit will not be in the Gilas Pilipinas final line-up for the 2014 FIBA World Cup and 2014 Asian Games since Coach Chot Reyes opted to use Andray Blatche in both cases since teams can only use 1 naturalized player per tournament.
Thank you Marcus Douthit for all your sacrifices for our Country, Douthit played a big role in the 2013 FIBA Asia Championship last year that paved way for our return to the FIBA World Cup.
