Professional basketball player Jeong Kwan-jang announced his breakup with Monroe “Thank you sincerely”
Monroe ‘Shoot‘
A professional basketball game between Anyang CheongKwanJang Red Boosters and Wonju DB Promy held at Anyang Indoor Gymnasium in Gyeonggi-do on the 26th.
Foreign player Daryl Monroe, who has been playing and showing leadership at Anyang Jeonggwanjang professional basketball team since 2021, is leaving the team.
On the 19th, Director Cheong said through a social networking service, “Today is the last day with Monroe, the honorary captain,” and added, “I am sincerely grateful to Monroe, who played a key role in the team for three seasons and shared good memories with us.”
Cheong Kwan Jang will play a home game against Samsung in Seoul at 7 PM on this day at Anyang Gymnasium in Gyeonggi Province.After the game, Cheong Kwan-jang plans to arrange a place for Monroe and the fans to meet for the last time.
Monroe, who joined CheongKwanJang in 2021, has been loved by the club’s fans for his unique smart play and veteran-like leadership.
However, last month, he dropped out of action after complaining of hamstring (muscle behind the thigh) pain.
Monroe, who returned to the court in the East Asian Super League away game on the 10th, also appeared in front of fans in the professional basketball all-star game held on the 14th.He wore a referee uniform instead of a uniform and blew the whistle for about a minute, causing laughter.
Monroe, who seemed like he would return immediately and provide vitality to the team, suffered a recurrence of the injury during team training the day after the All-Star Game.
Monroe’s ‘Judgement Today‘
In relation to this, coach Kim Sang-sik said ahead of the 2023-2024 Jeong Kwan Jang professional basketball away game against Goyang Sono held at Goyang Gymnasium on the 18th, “I want to wait, but there is no guarantee that they will return even after a month.” “I think I have to make an important decision for my own sake,” he said.
Coach Kim was deeply troubled from the beginning of this season as foreign player Omari Spellman, a key player in last season’s championship victory, failed to maintain his body and performed poorly due to various injuries.
Last month, Robert Carter was brought in to fill Spellman’s vacancy, but this time, with Monroe injured, Jeong Gwan-jang was hardly able to have a full force.
Cheong Kwan-Jang’s ranking, which rose to second place with 9 wins and 4 losses at the beginning of the season, soon fell to 9th place (11 wins, 21 losses). 스포츠토토맨
