* The Philippines[5] and Palestine[6] withdrew after the draw. On 5 August, the Philippines, through a hastily-made press conference by their national basketball federation, decided to field a team but they were placed in Group D to balance the number of teams in each group. The United Arab Emirates withdrew few days before the start of the competition.
