Slaughter posted a photograph of himself and Cone on Instagram, prompting netizens and Ginebra fans to invest if there’s something brewing throughout the Ginebra camp.
The image took place on the San Miguel Corporation sports complex along C-5 road in Pasig City.
Things seem well between Cone and Slaughter, who played for Ginebra from 2013 to 2020 before leaving in 2021 after his contract expired with NorthPort.
