ruptured medial ligament in right knee is expected to return in early March

 

Professional basketball Seoul SK is expected to take a thorny step due to the injury of key forward Ahn Young-joon. With the team in the top 2 in the regular league and seeking to advance to the semifinals, another key resource was left after Kim Sun-hyung and Heo Il-young.

 

According to the SK club on the 19th, Ahn Young-joon injured his right knee in a collision with Jang Jae-seok (Hyundai Mobis) who fell in a game against Ulsan Hyundai Mobis at Jamsil Student Gymnasium the day before.

 

As a result of the thorough examination, he was diagnosed with a ruptured medial ligament in his right knee. It is said that he injured the same area as Heo Il-young and can return in early March at the earliest.

 

SK ranks second with 22 wins and 10 losses, although its flagship guard Kim Sun-hyung and veteran shooter Heo Il-young are out due to injury. However, even Ahn Young-joon, who contributes highly in offense and defense, has seen his power leak significantly increase.  토토

 

In order to advance to the semifinals, he must maintain the second place. The evil spirit of injury seems to have been holding back ahead of the important second half race around the halfway point. Heo Il-young is expected to return early next month, but Kim Sun-hyung is said to be slow to recover.

 

Suwon KT, tied for third, and Changwon LG (both 19 wins and 12 losses) are closely trailing SK by two and a half games. SK coach Jeon Hee-chul is agonizing over the situation.
