Both Busan KCC and Seoul SK have injury variables.
KCC won the first and second games by a double-digit margin. However, it still has an injury variable. It is Lee Seung-hyun (197 cm tall, F), a key big man. Lee complained of pain two minutes and 57 seconds before the end of the third quarter on Saturday. He then signed a substitute.
He was walking by himself, but it was quite unusual. Lee Seung-hyun is hardly a replacement player. “I hurt my left hamstring. I don’t think it’s serious, but we need a test,” a KCC official said after the game on Wednesday.
Lee appeared at the training camp on Tuesday afternoon. However, he failed to carry out the training. He only lightly threw shots.
And on the morning of the 8th, Lee failed to undergo training. A KCC official said, “We are undergoing a thorough examination. After the results are confirmed, it will be decided whether Lee will participate or not.”
Even if Lee’s test results are okay, he may not be able to play much time in Game 3. This is because the hamstring is a sensitive area.
In addition, KCC is winning both games, while Song Kyo-chang (199 cm, F) and Choi Jun-yong (200 cm, F) are still holding out. This means there is no need to force Lee into the team.
Meanwhile, SK Oh Jae-hyun (185 cm, G) injured his left ankle twice in the second round of the 2023-2024 professional basketball semifinal playoff at Jamsil Students’ Gymnasium on the 6th. In particular, he failed to return to the court after getting hurt 7 minutes and 40 seconds before the end of the game.
Oh’s injury seemed quite intense as he had two injuries in one game. “I think (Oh’s left ankle) has turned significantly,” SK coach Jeon Hee-chul said after the second game, expressing concern over Oh’s injury. “I can’t guarantee an away game in Busan.”
However, Oh participated in an afternoon training session held at Sajik Indoor Stadium in Busan on the 7th. Of course, it was hard to know the exact condition of Oh. SK spent the afternoon of the 7th focusing on shooting, and Oh only played simple sports.
In addition, SK brought Jeon Seong-hwan (180 cm tall, G) as backup power on the day. After checking Oh’s condition, the team calculated that it would include one of Oh Jae-hyun and Jeon Seong-hwan.
For this reason, it was not known whether Oh would play in the training on the afternoon of July 7. He had to check in the training on the morning of the 8th. This is because most teams decide their starting lineup and players to play in the morning of the match.
Oh carried out his training normally on the morning of August 8. Shooting with running motion was also fine. And during the training, I had a conversation with SK coach Jeon Hee-chul. Afterwards, I watched the team’s tactical training outside the court.
KCC, which has two wins, and SK, which has two losses. Game 3 could be the last game of the series. However, both KCC and SK have injury variables. The team that overcomes this well will be the winner of the third game.
