In a statement from NBA spokesperson Tim Frank, he said the Asian Games is not part of the agreement between FIBA and the NBA.

“The NBA’s agreement with FIBA stipulates that NBA players can participate in the Olympics, Fiba Basketball World Cup, Continental Cup competitions, and associated qualifying tournaments. Because the Asian Games are not one of those competitions, NBA players are unable to participate.

In accordance with the NBA’s agreement with Fiba, Jordan is welcome to represent the Philippines in the agreed-upon competitions.”
