Even Jamil Warney (SK) of the world had no business in front of the forced march. He hit the All-Star break with the humiliation of his personal lowest score.

Seoul SK lost 61-85 in the 2022-2023 SKT Adot Professional Basketball regular league home game against Changwon LG held at Jamsil Student Gymnasium on the 10th. After Choi Joon-yong’s return, SK, which lost its first two games in a row, fell from a tie for 3rd to 4th. 61 points was SK’s lowest score for the team this season. Truly a complete defeat. The previous record was 69 points left in the Suwon KT match on November 20 last year.

Warney’s sluggishness was painful. Warney recorded 4 points, 9 rebounds and 2 assists in 21 minutes and 47 seconds. Against Assem Marey, he faced tight in the rebound match, but the problem was in the field. Warney made only two out of four field goals. There were also fouls and mistakes that he committed as his feet fell late.

It was the first time Warney had scored in single digits all season. His most recent single-digit score was also coincidentally against LG on March 5 last year (8 points). The 4 points also tied Warney’s personal lowest scoring record. Warney scored only 4 points against Anyang KGC on October 13, 2019, which was his KBL debut season. At the time, the field goal rate (9.1%) was Warney’s personal minimum field goal rate.

There were premonitory symptoms. Since the 4th, SK has been digesting the so-called ‘Pongdang Pongdang’, where they take a day off and play a day. The match against LG on the 10th was the 4th match played in the last 7 days. In addition, the league schedule was also at a point where it was inevitable to follow the group physically after turning around the halfway point. In fact, Warney recorded a double-double in all of the last two games, but the field goal rate was only 41.2% (14/34). The previous season record was 52.3%.

Coach Jeon Hee-cheol also said before the game, “The players are under a lot of physical strain. When I was training today, I saw that my body was heavy. I know it is difficult, but I hope that I can overcome it as there is no game for 10 days after the game.” 토토

The foreboding did not go astray. Warney’s unique floater was hit in front of the rim every time, and his physical strength was clearly revealed. In the end, coach Jeon Hee-chul decided that it was unreasonable to put in any more, and replaced Warney with Leon Williams 5 minutes and 19 seconds before the end of the third quarter. Warney couldn’t step on the court anymore after that.

Warney is a foreign player representing KBL beyond SK. This season also recorded an average of 23.6 points until this day, and was cruising toward No. 1 in scoring for the second consecutive season in KBL history. However, following the recent two games, Yatoo showed an unstable appearance in the LG match, which led to an unpleasant All-Star break.

While recharging, will Warney be able to regain his image as the best foreign player in the league? SK will play its first game after the All-Star break against KT on the 21st, after a 10-day break.
