TNT made another attempt to reach out to Mikey Williams in recent days, hoping to resolve the ongoing contract stalemate. Unfortunately, like previous attempts, this one also ended in disappointment.

According to a source familiar with the situation, Mikey is currently not in Los Angeles, adding another setback to the months-long negotiation between the talented player and the telecommunications giant. While this latest development doesn’t completely extinguish the possibility of both parties reaching an agreement, it certainly narrows the window of opportunity.

With the Philippine Cup scheduled to begin next month, time is of the essence for the Tropang Giga. The team can no longer afford to wait indefinitely for a resolution to be reached.

It has been a challenging journey since Mikey exercised a renegotiation clause in his contract and parted ways with TNT nearly 10 months ago. Despite nearly 283 days passing, a resolution has yet to be achieved. Both sides have levied accusations of broken promises and unmet expectations, adding further strain to the already delicate situation.
