Filipino import Kevin Quiambao returns to the court for the Goyang Sono Skygunners after a two-week absence due to an ankle injury. Despite the team's loss to the Anyang JKJ Red Boosters, Quiambao's performance showcases his recovery and potential impact on both the KBL and the upcoming FIBA Asia Cup Qualifiers.
Kevin Quiambao , sidelined for over two weeks due to an ankle injury, made a triumphant return to the Korean Basketball League (KBL) on Tuesday. The Filipino import showcased his prowess, contributing 14 points, five assists, and four rebounds for the Goyang Sono Skygunners against the Anyang JKJ Red Boosters. Despite his impressive performance, the Skygunners fell short, losing the match 94-69.
This setback further solidified Goyang's position at the bottom of the 10-team league with a 10-23 record.However, Quiambao's comeback was a significant victory in itself. Recovering from his injury two weeks ahead of the initial timeline, the 6-foot-5 player demonstrated his resilience and determination. The injury, a torn right ankle ligament sustained during his professional debut on January 12th against the Seoul SK Knights, had sidelined him for an extended period. His return to form not only boosts the Skygunners' chances but also opens exciting possibilities for his participation in international competitions.The timing of Quiambao's recovery aligns perfectly with the third window of the FIBA Asia Cup Qualifiers next month. Gilas Pilipinas, the Philippine national basketball team, will be facing Taiwan on February 20th and New Zealand on February 23rd. Gilas, already qualified for the Asia Cup in Saudi Arabia this August, holds a commanding lead in Group B with an undefeated 4-0 record. Quiambao's presence could significantly strengthen their lineup and propel them towards continued success in the qualifiers
