Coach Kim Seung-gi, who leads professional basketball team Goyang Sono, revealed that if the return of ace Lee Jeong-hyeon, who was out due to injury, is delayed, he may have to wait until January of next year.

Coach Kim Seung-gi met with reporters ahead of the home game against Ulsan Hyundai Mobis in the 2024-2025 KCC Pro Basketball regular league held at Goyang Gymnasium in Gyeonggi Province on the 13th and said, "Lee Jung-hyun's condition can only be assessed after three weeks. Even if her condition is good, she will have to start working out again after that."

He added, "Then, I will rest for about 4 or 5 weeks, but I am looking at up to 6 weeks," and "(The time of return) is around January next year, and (Lee Jung-hyun's injured area) will recover properly and I plan to start again."

According to coach Kim, Lee Jung-hyun felt pain in her knee for the 스포츠토토사이트 first time in the match against Suwon KT after a four-game winning streak.

However, coach Kim, who was unaware of this fact, believed Lee Jung-hyun's words that he "can play" and played him in the next game, but his condition worsened.

Coach Kim, who blamed himself by saying, "I should have recognized (the injury) in advance and let him rest," said, "I think he said he was fine and played because he thought the team would be in trouble if he wasn't there, but in such cases, it's better to tell him exactly what his condition is."

Sono, who started the new season on a good note with four consecutive wins, only won 1 game and lost 4 of the next five games.

Coach Kim, who left his regrets behind, expressed his determination, saying, "As today's game is over and it is a break designated by the International Basketball Federation (FIBA), we will do our best to the point of collapsing on the court."
