Despite interest from Phoenix, free agent Joe Devance to stay with Ginebra

Barangay Ginebra has put versatile veteran player Joe Devance in the unrestricted free agent list and Phoenix Fuel was the first team to express interest publicly.

But Devance isn’t going anywhere, according to coach Tim Cone.

“It’s kinda a loophole in the rule where other teams cannot claim that player. He has to get into an agreement,” Cone told InterAksyon.

“Joe is happy where he is at. He has no reason to leave. We talked to him about it. We know he’s coming back six to eight weeks, hopefully.”

According to Cone, teams can try to lure Devance away from Barangay Ginebra, but believes the veteran cager will hang on and stay where he is.
