Busan BNK Sum Kim Min-ah suffered an injury in the match against Bucheon Hana One Q at Woori Bank's Woori WON 2023-2024 Women's Professional Basketball held at Busan Sajik Gymnasium on the 13th. She lost her balance and fell while trying to break through. At that moment, she suffered an elbow injury when her arm that touched her first on the coat was bent. She was then taken off the court on a stretcher.
Kim Min-ah went to the emergency room immediately and was shown to dislocate her elbow and put on a cast. At an additional examination on the 15th, she was diagnosed with a ruptured ligament in her elbow and needed surgery. She is scheduled to undergo surgery on the 18th.
"I heard that my elbow ligament is broken and I need surgery. Surgery helps heal players' performance, and I have limitations in holding players' muscles, which can lead to habitual dislocation. I plan to have surgery on Wednesday. I think it will take about six months before I return to the court," Park said.
Kim Min-ah, who was selected by BNK as the fourth pick in the second round at the 2022-2023 WKBL recruitment committee, played as a six-man in this season and recorded 1.6 points and 0.8 rebounds in an average of 7 minutes and 54 seconds in 16 games. Unfortunately, she will be absent for the rest of the season due to an unexpected injury.
