Anyang Jeonggwanjang Red Boosters continued to win five consecutive home games against the Busan KCC Egis, but there were concerns. That's because "Asian Quarter" and key guard Lens Abando (28) was out of the game due to injury. First of all, Yoo Do-hoon (59), director of the Jeonggwanjang, said that hospital treatment is needed.
Jeong Kwan-jang, led by head coach Yoo Do-hoon, beat KCC 76-68 in the fourth round of LG Electronics' professional basketball in the 2025-2026 season at Anyang Jeonggwan Arena in Anyang, Gyeonggi-do, on the 4th. He shook off KCC's persistent pursuit.
With this victory, Jeong Kwan-jang won five consecutive home games against KCC and shook off the disappointment of his defeat against the SK Knights in Seoul the previous day (3rd). In the ranking table, he also tied for second place and became the sole second place. On the other hand, KCC fell into a quagmire of four consecutive losses.
Despite Jeong Kwan-jang's victory, Abando suffered a dizzying injury. Abando made a shot under the basket midway through the third quarter, but he suffered a broken ankle in the process of landing. It was mixed with KCC Kim Dong-hyun's ankle. It was a scene where there was no intention, but there was a concern about a major injury. Jeong Kwan-jang protested, saying, "And one," but it was not accepted, and Abando was helped out and replaced. Instead, Park Ji-hoon entered, and Abando was no longer deployed after this situation.
In an official interview immediately after the end of the game, coach Yoo Do-hoon was concerned about the physical condition of the sub-band. Coach Yoo explained, "Abando's ankle condition is currently a hospital diagnosis."
"The opponent KCC was also in a situation where there were many injuries, but our players were not careless or anything like this. Although Heo Hoon was well blocked at the beginning of the game, it seems that he gave up a lot of offensive rebounds, leading to a situation where he continued to follow. Still, Kim Young-hyun seems to have blocked Heo Hoon well. It must have been very difficult for the players to play three games in four days, but I think we need to rest for now and prepare anew as a team," he added.
