Joshua Munzon is set to continue his stint with Titan Ultra Giant Risers after trade rumors surrounding the veteran cager died down ahead of the PBA Season 50 Governors’ Cup.
According to player agent Danny Espiritu, there is no ongoing move to deal Munzon despite months of speculation linking him to several PBA teams.
“Not at this time,” Espiritu told Fastbreak when asked whether a trade involving the 31-year-old was still being pursued.
Munzon’s previous contract expired at the end of June, but he remains with the Giant Risers after his deal was carried over for the rest of Season 50 under the league’s rules on expiring player contracts.
The former top overall draft pick was heavily mentioned in trade discussions during the offseason, with several teams reportedly expressing interest in acquiring his services.
Although there had been efforts to work out a deal before the Governors’ Cup, none materialized, allowing Munzon to stay with Titan Ultra entering the season-ending conference.
Munzon currently leads the PBA in scoring with 20.6 points per game and also tops the league in steals at 2.4 per contest. He is likewise ninth in the latest PBA Players’ Cumulative Statistical Points standings with 22.3 points. (AC)
