Since signing the contract, Warney has seriously considered retiring as a basketball player for a long time, but he has finally decided to join SK for one more season due to SK's sincere persuasion and regret over missing the opportunity to win last season's unified championship. As we renewed our contract, we will do our best to show good performance to SK fans and KBL fans next season", he expressed his feelings.
SK said, `After Ahn Young-joon's renewal and recruitment of Kim Nak-hyun, we successfully renewed the contract with Warnie, the top foreign player, and laid the foundation for another victory next season.'
