Kim Kang-sun, captain of the professional basketball team Goyang Sono, will end his active career.
Sono’s club said on the 21st, “Kim Kang-sun will end his 15-year career and transform into a leader.”
Kim Kang-sun’s retirement ceremony will be held at the home opener of the 2024-25 season.
Kim Kang-sun started her professional career at Daegu Orions with the eighth pick in the first round of the 2009 rookie draft.
Since then, Orion has moved its affiliation to Goyang, Gyeonggi-do, and spent 12 years in the Goyang-based team until Sono last season.
He played an average of 15 minutes and 53 seconds in 576 professional games and played 4.3 points, 1.3 rebounds, and 0.8 assists.
He played an average of 19 minutes and 20 seconds in 46 games last season, his first captain since Sono was founded, scoring 4.4 points, 1.8 rebounds, and 0.9 assists.
“It doesn’t feel real yet,” Kim Kang-sun said. “My goal was to become a leader, but I am grateful to the club for allowing me to achieve that dream. I will contribute to nurturing good juniors by becoming a leader who learns and studies a lot.”
Kim Kang-sun, who turned into a leader, will participate in her first training as a power analysis coach on the 3rd of next month.메이저사이트
