MANILA, Philippines—Eugene Phelps is set to suit up for Phoenix anew in the 2019 PBA Governors’ Cup.
The Fuel Masters announced Phelps’ return on Twitter Friday.
The 29-year-old Phelps, a scoring and rebounding machine, last saw action for Phoenix in last year’s Governors’ Cup where he led the team to the No. 2 seed.
The Fuel Masters, however, were booted out by the seventh-ranked Meralco Bolts in the quarterfinals despite owning a twice-to-beat advantage.
Phelps is coming off a stint with Mighty Sports Philippines in the Jones Cup in Taiwan where he helped the squad claim the championship late last month.
Phoenix hopes to get a much-needed jolt from Phelps after it failed to reach the playoffs in the 2019 Commissioner’s Cup where its campaign was put in turmoil by the in-game antics and alarming off court behavior Calvin Abueva, who is facing grave allegations of domestic abuse from his wife on top of an indefinite suspension by the PBA.
