Video: Freeland Squashes Rumours of Done Deal With Malaga
A dejected Joel Freeland spoke with reporters after Unicaja’s loss to Sevilla in the Copa Del Rey yesterday, revealing no decision has been made on his future as yet.
Asked about the reports of him coming to an agreement with Malaga he responded:
“We’ve always been talking from day one. But we haven’t come to an agreement at this point. We’ve been talking from almost the beginning of the season about renewing the contract but I haven’t signed or verbally stated anything thing yet.”
Freeland was then asked if there is anything Portland can do to change his mind to get him in uniform next year, to which he replied:
“I never said that I didn’t want to be there. I never said that. I’ve always had an open mindset, if the situation is right and I feel like I’m ready I’ll make that step obviously. But I’m here and I’m only focusing on my team at the moment and the things I’m doing with my team so all of that is going to be discussed in the summer so I’ll wait and see.”
Freeland had 8 points and 13 rebounds in the loss.

Do you like our work?
We have a tiny favour to ask. In 2018 we set out to make Hoopsfix sustainable by building our relationship directly with our readers. Up until now, Hoopsfix has been creating editorials, videos and podcasts to provide sorely missing coverage of the British game and its distinct culture and community.
We have funded Hoopsfix with our freelance work creating basketball media, but sadly that means not only does it fall behind our client’s priorities, but some of those clients are the same organisations we need to report objectively on putting us in a conflicted position.
We want to devote more time to our mission of helping British basketball reach its potential, and produce even more content for the basketball community by making Hoopsfix a sustainable 100% independent business funded directly by our readers through Patreon.
If everyone who enjoys our content chose to support us, our future would be much more secure. For as little as $3 per month, you can support Hoopsfix – and it only takes a minute.
We are tremendously honoured and humbled to have a community of people who value what we do, and we look forward to being at the forefront of the British game as it continues to evolve.
