The Philippines national basketball team was led by head coach Chot Reyes until the appointment of Tim Cone in September.

By January 2023, Reyes has temporarily stepped down as coach of the TNT Tropang Giga allowing him to focus on fulfilling his duties as head coach of the national team. Jojo Lastimosa succeeded him as TNT coach. Reyes however remained an active consultant with helping Lastimosa guide the Philippine Basketball Association (PBA) team in their 2023 PBA Governors' Cup run.

In February 2023, the Philippines took part in the final window of the 2023 FIBA Basketball World Cup Asian qualifiers. The national team ended their participation in the qualifiers with a lost to Jordan.

As one of the hosts of the 2023 FIBA Basketball World Cup, the Philippines were already qualified regardless of their performance.

Prior to the World Cup, the team took part in the 2023 Southeast Asian Games in Cambodia where FIBA eligibility rules were not used and a passport-only rule is imposed for players. The Philippine roster is a mix of PBA and college players. It is reinforced by naturalized player and American-born Justin Brownlee, as well as Filipino-foreigners Filipino-foreigners and Chris Ross who are ineligible to play as a local in FIBA-sanctioned tournaments.

The Philippines were grouped with host Cambodia, Malaysia, and Singapore in the group stage. They won their opener against Malaysia, before figuring in a historic lost against the hosts who were laden by six naturalized players. They were still able to advance to the semifinals by winning their final group game against Singapore. They won the semifinal before getting revenge against the hosts in the final to claim the gold.

For the FIBA Basketball World Cup in August, the Philippines are set to face Italy, the Dominican Republic and Angola in Group A. The Philippines have played against Italy and Angola in the 2019 FIBA World Cup in China while they faced the Dominican Republic in the Belgrade tournament of the 2020 FIBA Men's Olympic Qualifiers in June to July 2021. The Philippines lost its last games against these three oppositions. Reyes would step down from the head coaching role shortly after the game.
