The results of re-signing foreign and Asian quota players in professional basketball have been announced.

On the 29th, the KBL announced, "We have concluded the re-signing period for foreign and Asian quota players. A total of five foreign players and five Asian quota players have signed re-contracts."

Five players will continue to play in the KBL next season. They are Wonju DB's Allen Ellison, Seoul Samsung's Kerem Cantur, Seoul SK's Jamel Wany, Changwon LG's Assem Marey, and Busan KCC's Sean Long, all of whom have re-signed with their original teams and will continue to play in the KBL next season.

Marey has been with LG since 2021. He led LG to its first championship in the club's history in the 2024-2025 season. He also delivered outstanding performances last season, contributing to LG's regular season championship.

Sean Long is also a top-tier foreign investor who brought new history to KCC. KCC reached the playoffs with a sixth-place finish in the regular season and, led by Long's outstanding play, captured the championship trophy. KCC is the first team in professional basketball history to win the championship trophy after finishing sixth in the regular season.

Additionally, five Asian quota players have re-signed: DB's Elban Alvaro, Samsung's Justin Goutang, LG's Carl Tamayo, Anyang Jeonggwanjang Lens's Avando, and Daegu Korea Gas Corporation's Sam Joseph Belangell.

On the other hand, 14 foreign players, including Goyang Sono's Nathan Knight and Jeonggwanjang's Johnny O'Bryant, and three Asian quota players, including KCC's William Navarro and KT's Joel Kagulang, have decided not to re-sign.

Meanwhile, the KBL has deferred the registration of La Gun-ah's re-signing submitted by Korea Gas Corporation.
