Professional basketball Sono has recruited a new foreign player.

Sono officially announced on the 14th that he will terminate his contract with Janet Stokes and recruit DJ Burns, who played in the NBA Summer League.

Sono finished the formation of foreign players for the 2024-2025 season with Allen Williams and Stokes from the NBA. However, Stokes did not join the team. He postponed his first arrival in the country and did not enter the country until the 11th when he left for Taiwan training. In the end, Sono terminated his contract with Stokes and brought in Burns. Foreign player replacement cards do not run out.

Sono was calm. "There was something wrong with the current situation once, but we will have another player to recruit. The situation could be better," Kim said.

As head coach Kim Seung-ki said, it became a blessing in disguise.

Burns is a big man with a physical condition of 204 cm and 125 kg. He averaged 16.2 points, 4.2 rebounds, and 3.6 assists in the 2023-2024 NCAA Tournament, bringing 11th-seeded North Carolina State to the semifinals.  동행복권파워볼

Sono shot Burns in the Summer League. However, he failed to sign a contract due to Burns' NBA challenge. However, Burns failed to enter the NBA and was able to bring Burns in as he terminated his contract with Stokes. Burns will join Taipei, Taiwan on the 15th.

"He is a rookie who has just graduated from college and is trying to play overseas leagues. He has excellent sense and BQ, so he has the ability to adapt quickly to KBL and play well," Sono said. "Two options are expected to bring good results for the team and bring fans another joy."
