Changwon LG Sakers has brought on former Wonju DB Promy coach Lee Kwang-jae (42) to significantly strengthen its D-League player development and operational systems.

Changwon LG announced on the 18th via official materials that "we have newly recruited coach Lee Kwang-jae to enhance our capabilities in D-League operations and player development."

Coach Lee Kwang-jae is a star player who was known as one of the top shooting guards in the KBL during his playing career. After retiring, he spent five seasons from the 2021-2022 season through the 2025-2026 season at Wonju DB, shuttling between the first division and the D-League, earning high praise for building a solid foundation of coaching experience and know-how.

The LG organization stated, "Coach Lee Kwang-jae has served as a coach at a professional club for five seasons until last year, gaining rich coaching experience. In particular, we expect him to excel in communication with players and to align well with the player development direction pursued by the organization and head coach Jo Sang-hyun."

Coach Lee Kwang-jae, now a new member of LG, expressed through the organization, "I sincerely thank the LG Sakers for their positive evaluation of me and for giving me this opportunity." He added, "I will do my best to coach so that D-League players can grow to the next level, in line with the team operation direction envisioned by the organization and head coach Jo Sang-hyun."

Meanwhile, coach Kim Dong-woo, who served as a coach for both the first division and the D-League last season to bolster the team's strength, will focus exclusively on the first division starting this season to assist head coach Jo Sang-hyun. Through this coaching staff restructuring, LG plans to achieve two goals simultaneously: stabilizing the first division roster and developing future resources.
