DJ Burns, who joined Sono on the 14th.
Sono Pro No-wook of Goyang has completed the formation of foreign players by recruiting DJ Burns 23. He has terminated his contract with Janelle Stokes, who delayed her entry into the country.
Sono said on the 14th, "We terminated our contract with the Stokes and recruited Burns, who played in the NBA Summer League."
Sono signed with Stokes, who played in China's CBA, in July. However, Stokes postponed his arrival in late August and did not board several flights to Korea until the 11th when he left Taiwan for field training.
Sono decided to terminate his contract with Stokes, who broke his trust, and signed Burns, who had his eye on the Summer League.
Burns has excellent physical conditions of 2 m 4 cm and 125 kg. At the ACC Conference Tournament last 2024 season, he contributed to his team's first win in 27 years. He was considered the tournament's most valuable player and played in the NCAA Tournament as the 11th seed.
At the time, Burns averaged 16.2 points, 4.2 rebounds, and 3.6 assists in the NCAA Tournament for 28.2 minutes. The team became the sixth team ever to advance to the semifinals. 실시간 바카라사이트

Burns will join Taipei, Taiwan, on the 15th, where he will play his first match with his teammates.
