Jeong Hyo-geun, who held the ankle, was diagnosed with a partial rupture of the outer ligament for 3 to 4 weeks

Jeong Hyo-geun (30, 202cm), who suffered an ankle injury, was diagnosed for three to four weeks.

Anyang Jung Kwan-jang lost 71-83 in the fourth round match against Seoul SK in the 2023-2024 Jung Kwan-jang Professional Basketball League held at Jamsil Students' Gymnasium on Wednesday. The team lost again in a row, posting 11 wins and 20 losses overall for the season.

On the day, Chung lost something bigger than his victory. Jeong Hyo-geun, the main forward, was out due to an ankle injury. Jeong stepped on Leon Williams' foot and sprained his left ankle while landing after breaking through the third quarter. Jeong, who had complained of pain after collapsing, was helped off the bench by his trainer, and failed to return to the court.

마카오토토 "I was diagnosed with a rupture of the external ligament for three to four weeks. I think I will have to wait and see his condition later because of pain and swelling," a Jeong said in a telephone conversation with this newspaper on the 8th.

Having become a free agent in the off-season, Chung has built a new nest at Chung Kwan-jang. He played 23 minutes and 32 seconds on average in 29 regular league games this season, recording 9.6 points, 4.7 rebounds, and 1.7 assists. He encouraged his team by moving between small and power forwards, but took a break due to an unexpected injury.

Currently, Chung is in an injured ward. Kim Kyung-won (knee) and Lens Abando (spine) have been sidelined due to long-term injuries. With Chung Hyo-geun also out of the team due to ankle injury, coach Kim Sang-sik's concerns have deepened.
