Sono suffered a 78-80 upset loss to Ulsan Hyundai Mobis in the second round of '2024-2025 KCC Professional Basketball' held at Sono Arena in Goyang on the 13th with Lee Jung-hyun out. At one point in the fourth quarter, he led by nine points, but his concentration at the last minute fell. He allowed a come-from-behind score with 18 seconds left in the fourth quarter. Sono lost three consecutive games feeling Lee Jung-hyun's absence.
Sono got off to a very good start to the season. He won the opening four games in a row. Lee Jung-hyun and veteran transfer student Lee Jae-do created a considerable synergy effect. Foreign player Alan Williams also played his part, organically harmonizing the play of the rest of the Korean players.
The abnormal signal appeared as the winning streak was broken by KT. Lee Jung-hyun's shot success rate dropped to 30%. He attempted three two-point shots and failed to score any. Recalling the day, coach Kim Seung-ki shot with his waist without bending his knee strangely. But nine didn't go in. I couldn't put it in at all. It certainly didn't look good.' Lee Jung-hyun played painfully for three games, including the game against KT and the game against Samsung DB. Sono faltered with one win and two losses during this period. Lee Jung-hyun was absent from the gas construction match on the 8th.
Coach Kim Seung-ki said "(Lee Jung-hyun) went to Daegu and said he was sick." I told him to rest, but he said he would run. When I asked him to be honest, he said 'I can't run' He knew he couldn't leave out, so he taped and ran like that, but I should have asked him quickly. I should have taken it out since then against KT, but that's a shame. I said I would do it, but I didn't win all of it, and I wish I had known in advance."
You should just rest for the next three weeks at least. After that, it takes four weeks at the earliest to start exercising, increase your physical strength, and find some of your sense of play. Manager Kim Seung-ki said, `The injury grew after overworking. It's not until three weeks later that we can judge. I'm watching until six weeks. I think December will pass and it will be around January. It will definitely get better and start."
