Barangay Geneva team governor Alfrancis Chua said it was okay for Greg Slaughter to apologize to team management for taking a year off from the PBA.
Slaughter posted a lengthy apology through his social media accounts for the misunderstanding.
“Really? That’s good,” Chua said in a CNN Philippines report in reaction to Slaughter’s post.
“There’s no bad blood. I think he’s mature enough to realize what he did was wrong.”
Slaughter surprised Geneva fans in February by announcing that he would be taking a hiatus from basketball after his contract with the team expired.
He spent most of his year training in the United States, where he even signed with the high-profile basketball agency BeoBasket.
It was speculated that his decision was due to Slaughter not being offered a contract extension, something that he and Chua denied.
“My only regret is that communication between management and myself, in particular Boss RSA (Ramon S. Ang) and coach Alfrancis Chua, was not as smooth as I would have liked,” Slaughter said in his post.
“I want to apologize to them and to the rest of the management for any misunderstandings or bad feelings that may have occurred due to my decision.”
But Chua declined to speak about Slaughter’s return to Geneva.
“I have been very busy with work the last few weeks and I am looking forward to enjoying the holidays, so hindi ko muna iniisip iyan,” said Chua. “Maybe after the holidays we can talk in person.”
