Kim Si-rae, who went through Mobis (currently Hyundai Mobis), LG, and Samsung, became a free agent and signed a contract with DB. The contract period was one year, and the fee was 100 million won. The market’s evaluation of Kim Si-rae, who underwent surgery due to an injury in the foot, was cold, but the DB pinned its hopes on Kim’s records.
Kim Si-rae, who finished his rehabilitation after surgery in February, has been participating in off-season training in Yangyang, Gangwon Province since April 29. “I participated in off-season training in Yangyang while rehabilitating. I’m still adjusting to the team,” Kim said. “It’s been a long time since I came to off-season training in Korea. Of course, I’m tired. But I’m working hard thinking that it’s preparation for the season.” DB manager Kim Ju-seong said, “Kim Si-rae is also doing cross-country training normally. He is managing it, but he is working very hard.”
Kim Si-rae is a point guard who represents the league. He has 4.7 assists on average for 12 seasons in his career. However, he posted 3.2 and 3.4 assists, respectively, in the recent two seasons. The number of assists has decreased due to inconsistent playing time and team circumstances. Chances are high that he will support Lee Sun-bano in the DB league along with Yoo Hyun-joon. “I have a one-year contract period, which makes me more motivated. I want to play my role well for the team,” Kim said. “I’m sure there are things that you want me to do by recruiting me from the DB league. I’ve become the best player anyways. I want to share my experiences with younger players.”
“I don’t want to be content with just backup roles,” Kim said. “I want to prepare well for the season and try again. I think my rehabilitation process went well. Age is just a number,” Kim said. “I cut my hair short just to focus on basketball. I want to show that Kim is still alive. If I don’t get hurt, I will be able to show my basketball skills again.”
