American forward Devin Fikes has announced his departure from the University of the East (UE) after two seasons, confirming he will return to Canada for his studies and basketball career.
He clarified that he will not be transferring to any other collegiate team in the UAAP or NCAA.
Fikes expressed his gratitude to the UE coaches, managers, teammates, and the community in a heartfelt Instagram post.
His exit follows that of Rainer Maga, who transferred to the University of the Philippines, and occurred after Chris Gavina's appointment as head coach.
Fikes joined UE in 2023 and played alongside brothers Hunter and Jack Cruz-Dumont.
He was an instrumental piece in UE's Season 87 run, averaging 6.29 points, 4.0 rebounds, and 1.14 assists per game, as the Red Warriors finished just a game short of a Final Four spot with a 6-8 card.
