Jordan Clarkson, ladies and gentlemen. The Utah Jazz star suited up for the Philippines in the FIBA World Cup. After losing their first four games, Clarkson and co. found themselves in a deadlock against China in their final game. A loss would completely end the country's chances at the Olympics.

Jordan Clarkson ended the game with 34 huge points, sealing the victory for Philippines. The win effectively secured the country a spot in the Olympic Qualifying Tournaments to be held next year. Under the FIBA World Cup rules, the four lowest-ranked teams after the classification phase will not be given a spot in the OQTs. The Jazz star kept the Philippines' chances of returning to the Olympics alive.

Jordan Clarkson is just one of the many Jazz players that represented their country in the FIBA World Cup. Walker Kessler (USA), Simone Fontecchio (Italy), Lauri Markkanen (Finland), and Kelly Olynyk (Canada) are all participating in the tournament as well. The experience that these four players had in this tournament will surely help their chances next season.
