DB stretcher and suffered serious injuries

Leading DB, running for 3 consecutive wins despite injury to Kim Jong-gyu,
unlikely to be able to play against SK in Seoul on the 12th

It has been reported that Kim Jong-gyu, center of professional basketball team Wonju DB, fortunately avoided serious injury.

DB resisted persistent pursuit and won 88-83 in the 2023-2024 CheongKwanJang professional basketball game against Anyang CheongKwanJang held at Wonju Sports Complex on the 10th.

DB, which had won three games in a row, solidified its sole lead with 17 wins and three losses. The lead over second-place Changwon LG (14 wins, 5 losses) was widened to two and a half games again.

But I couldn't laugh. This is because national team center Kim Jong-gyu, the core of the team's strength, was injured.

Kim Jong-gyu injured his ankle while defending Park Ji-hoon (Cheong Kwan-jang)'s breakthrough 1 minute and 25 seconds into the third quarter. He complained of extreme pain and was eventually taken off the court on a stretcher.

There were concerns that the injury could be severe, but fortunately, it was reported that no joints or ligaments were damaged.

According to the DB club, Kim Jong-gyu visited the hospital on the morning of the 11th and received a checkup. It was reported that he had swelling above his ankle bone and felt pain. He will be monitoring his progress for a few days to determine when he will return.

DB will face Seoul SK on the 12th. It looks like he won't be able to play in this game.
