The Goyang Sono Sky Gunners will turn the mood around for the "Spring Basketball" competition, which will be given up to sixth place by throwing the game-winning move of replacing foreign players. The visa issuance of "Big Man from Lithuania" Igidius Motzkavichus (34) has been completed.
On the 29th, Sono completed the registration of an authentic Lithuanian big man 'Igidius Motsukavichus', an alternative foreign player for Jaylin Johnson (30), who was a two-option player. With Lee Ki's joining, we plan to change the team's atmosphere and rebound the season," he said.
The club expected that "Johnson, who had strength in defense, will play a stable backup role for Nathan Knight with his even skills on both sides of offense and defense." Sono defeated Ulsan Hyundai Mobis Peebus 99-54 on the 27th, ranking seventh (14-21, winning percentage 0.400). It is three games away from sixth-ranked Busan KCC Egis. There is about one game left in the fourth round, and there is still six rounds left, so it is possible to chase.
Motsuka Vichus is an authentic big man based on good physical conditions and excellent screen setting ability of 208cm 113kg. He is a veteran resource who has played in the NBA G League, Lithuania, Italy, Spain, France, and Taiwan. He has the history of the most rebound titles in the Italian league in 2019.
In particular, in the 2024-2025 season, the previous season, he scored 11.8 points and 13.8 rebounds on average in 29 minutes of average playing time in the Taiwan Professional Basketball League (TPBL), showing a double-double-class performance in every game.
In the 25th and 26th seasons, he played an average of 17.8 minutes in 11 games for the Lithuanian League (LKL) Neptunas, who played in the Euro Cup, showing off his presence in the paint zone with a 68.6% field goal success rate, 5.7 points, and 5.8 rebounds.
Sono said, "It is an authentic big man based on a great size, and I look forward to working with Sono's main handler."
Son Chang-hwan (50), head coach of Goyang Sono, also said of Motsukavichus, "First of all, he is a player who has a high height and has seen the orthodox No. 5. "I'm a player who has experienced tough European basketball, so I have a lot of expectations for those parts," he said.
Igidius Motsukavichus completed the player registration process on the 29th and is scheduled to make his debut in an away game against Seoul SK on the 31st. Fans are paying attention to whether Sono, who took out a new foreign card, will succeed in rebounding in the second half of the year.
