(Seoul = Yonhap News) Reporter Bae Jin-nam = Women’s professional basketball Bucheon Hana One Q was struck by lightning at the beginning of the season.

Forward Goo (27), who was recruited ahead of the new season, was in danger of being ‘out of the season’ as he was on the operating table with a knee injury.

According to the Hana OneQ club on the 29th, as a result of a thorough examination at the hospital that day, it was revealed that the anterior cruciate ligament in the right knee was torn.

After waiting for the swelling to subside at the injured area, he is scheduled to undergo surgery in mid-November. It is highly likely that he will not return to the court this season.

In the home match against Samsung Life Insurance in Yongin the day before, Goo ran for a rebound after his 3-point shot failed in the early 4th quarter, but injured his knee while landing and was eventually carried on a stretcher.

After last season, Hana OneQ recruited Gob to fill the void when national team shooter Kang Isul, who was considered the greatest free agent (FA), left for Cheongju KB.

In order to embrace the marble, he gave up the first round of selections for the new player selection in 2021 and 2022 with Kang Yu-rim, the winner of the Rookie of the Year award last season.

In the first game of the season against Asan Woori Bank, Guo-gu recorded 13 points, 3 rebounds and 3 assists, and was living up to the team’s expectations by posting 13 points and 8 rebounds before getting hurt in the match against Samsung Life Insurance.

However, Hana OneQ is able to play the rest of the season without beads after only two matches. For Hana OneQ, whose concept of the season is completely distorted, the situation is even more painful than the opening two consecutive losses.
