MANILA, Philippines—Maverick Ahanmisi’s future with Converge may not be clear at the moment but coach Aldin Ayo is prepared for whatever comes next between the two sides.

Recently, reports of Ahanmisi leaving Converge have broken the claim that he wants more than what FiberXers is offering him.

Whether or not that is true has yet to be confirmed by Ayo but he says they are ready to go head to head next season, with or without Ahanmisi.

“We don’t have any updates. The coaching staff now, we don’t bother or think about what’s going on at the top (management). We just focus on preparing as a team,” Ayo said in Filipino later lost 99-95 to Magnolia during the PBA On Tour in Pasig on Wednesday.

Ayo got involved in contract negotiations with Ahanmisi, saying that he leave it to management.

Ahanmisi, who entered the first round in 2015, signed a one-year contract with FiberXers last June, which expires in a few weeks.

When his contract expires, Ahanmisi will become an unrestricted free agent, giving him the option to weigh his options ahead of next season.

While that may be the worst case scenario for Converge, Ayo remains steadfast in his view that the team will play with “what they have”.

“Like I said before, we’re going to make the most of what we have,” Ayo said. “Whoever is there, we’ll use.”

Ahanmisi has the best scoring time during his PBA career in the Governor’s Cup just ended, where he hit a target of 19.9 points along with 6.6 rebounds and 3.1 assists per game.
