Suwon KT’s leading star in professional basketball,
Heo Hoon, will be off the court for about four weeks due to a fractured nose.
A KT official said on the 13th, “Heo Hoon’s nose bone was broken.
He was diagnosed to have to focus on recovery for about 4 weeks,” and added,
“He will need surgery and will have to wear a face shield for a while after returning.” 파워볼게임
Heo Hoon fell to the court after being hit by Lee Won-seok’s elbow 8 minutes and 55 seconds before the end of the third quarter of the home game against Seoul Samsung in the 2023-2024 Jeong Kwan-Jang Professional Basketball Regular League held at Suwon KT Arena on the 12th.
As Moon Seong-gon and Heo Hoon momentarily put pressure on him,
Lee Won-seok, who was trying to escape, swung his arms while holding the ball, and blood flowed from Heo Hoon’s nose,
who was lying on the court complaining of pain.
KT, which was ahead 50-44 up to that point,
allowed Samsung to come back after Heo Hoon left the court, and eventually lost 94-99.
With this victory, Samsung broke the longest away losing streak in professional basketball history (22 consecutive losses), which was launched in 1997.
According to a KT official, Heo Hoon, who received the final diagnosis, said, “It was just bad luck,”
rather than questioning Lee Won-seok’s intention.
Heo Hoon, who returned to professional basketball after completing military service on the 15th of last month,
played an average of 26 minutes in 10 regular league games, scoring 16.5 points and 4.3 assists.
In the 10 games Heo Hoon played in, Suwon KT won 6 and lost 4.
