Doo Kyung-min (34), who was the MVP of the professional basketball regular league, was announced on waivers.

Changwon LG, the champion of professional basketball in the 2024-2025 season, said on the 11th, "We requested the Korea Professional Basketball Federation (KBL) to announce the waivers of point guard Doo Kyung-min." 바카라

Waver announcement is a process in which a club cancels a contract with a player or announces its intention to transfer to another club. It will be open to recruitment from other clubs for two weeks until the 23rd. It is impossible to withdraw the waiver announcement by the original club, and when multiple clubs want to recruit, priority will be given in the reverse order of the regular league rankings last season. If there is no team that wants to recruit, they have to go back to the original club.
Doo Kyung-min was a top guard who won the MVP award of the 2017-2018 regular season when he played for the Wonju DB. LG ambitiously recruited him before the last season to challenge for the championship, but he played only 14 games due to injury and friction with the coaching staff. He ran an average of 15 minutes and 24 seconds, recording only 6.9 points and 3.1 assists.

In fact, discord with the coaching staff was exposed during the playoff stage. Ahead of the semifinal playoff in April, LG manager Cho Sang-hyun said, "I'm not ready." I hope the focus will be on the players who are preparing well." In the end, Du did not get a chance to play in the entire playoff process.

Even without Du Kyung-min, LG won its first championship game. Young players, including Yang Joon-seok and Yoo Ki-sang, played key roles in the championship game, beating the Seoul SK Wyverns in the championship game. The club seems to have decided to announce its waivers after judging that it can no longer play with Du after the end of the season.

If there is no other team that he wants, he has to go back to LG. He has one more season to sign his contract with LG. However, as LG publicly announced its intention to break up with Du in a waiver program, which is a rarity in professional basketball, there seems to be little chance for him to actually play an active role even if he returns. Du is at a crossroads in his career.
