It's a bolt out of the blue. Busan KCC is shedding tears again due to the evil spirit of injury.
An official from Busan KCC said through Sports Chosun on the 21st that Song Kyo-chang was diagnosed with a complete rupture of the right ankle ligament, Jongbi ligament, and medial ligament for 6 weeks after a detailed examination. Choi Jun-yong was also diagnosed at 2 weeks with right outer light muscle muscle and tendon sprain.
Busan KCC, led by head coach Lee Sang-min, lost 74:85 to Goyang Sono at Sajik Gymnasium in Busan on the 20th.
There was a dizzying scene. In the middle of the third quarter, Song Kyo-chang injured his right ankle during the landing process as he overlapped with Sean Long after the breakthrough. Song Kyo-chang was helped out of the court without walking properly. He did not play any more. Song had a difficult time with his injury last season. He has been flying since his return this season. He had 11.3 points - 5.8 rebounds in 32 minutes and 51 seconds in 16 league games. He is active as a key player in KCC's offense and defense.

Not only Song Kyo-chang but also Choi Joon-yong emerged. Choi Jun-yong is taking the center stage as the team's captain this season. Although he struggled with injuries early in the season, he averaged 26 minutes and 17 seconds in nine league games. 13.2 points - 5.4 rebounds delivered. From KCC's point of view, the forward line collapsed and suffered. KCC had a hard time with Huh Hoon's injury this season. He just returned, but even Song Kyo-chang and Choi Jun-yong left.
Meanwhile, injuries to Song Kyo-chang and Choi Jun-yong also caused problems for the A team. South Korea's basketball A team, led by Seoul SK coach Jeon Hee-chul, will play a series of Group B matches against China in the Asian qualifying round for the 2027 FIBA Basketball World Cup on the 28th (Wonjeong, Beijing) and December 1st (Home, Wonju). Earlier, Changwon LG's shooter Yoo Ki-sang left due to a thigh injury. The national team is expected to select Song Kyo-chang and Choi Jun-yong as a substitute.
