‘NBA Challenge’ Lee Hyun-joong explodes with a personal high of 21 points in the G League… 3 stores, 4 rooms

Lee Hyun-joong (Lip City Remix), who is challenging the National Basketball Association (NBA) stage, made a great performance by scoring the most points in a game after advancing to the G League, a lower league in the United States.

Lee Hyun-joong, a member of Portland Trail Blazers' Lip City, started in the away game against the 2026-2027 G League Stockton Kings (Sacramento Kings) held at the Adventist Health Arena in Stockton, California, USA on the 14th (Korean time) and recorded 21 points, 7 rebounds, and 3 assists.

Lee Hyun-joong hit four 3-point shots that day, the most in the team. He threw 7 3-point shots and hit 4 of them, boasting a high-sensitivity success rate of 57.1%.

In the second game of the season against the Salt Lake City Stars, Lee Hyeon-joong, who scored 12 points by hitting 4 3-point shots (40% success rate), clearly showed off his ability as an outside gun for the second consecutive game.

He also showed off his presence as a rebounder by kicking down 7 rebounds, the most in the team, along with Mark Sears, and showed a lot of activity by creating 2 and-one plays under the goal.

Hyunjoong Lee worked hard, scoring the third most points on the team after Sears, who scored 31 points and 11 assists, and Caleb Houston, who scored 23 points.

However, Lip City suffered a losing streak, losing 129-133 to Stockton.

Lee Hyun-joong, who sought to enter the NBA immediately after completing his third year at Davidson University in the United States in 2022, was not selected in the rookie draft.

Afterwards, he gained practical experience by playing for the Santa Cruz Warriors in the NBA G League, the Australian National Basketball Association (NBL), and the Japanese Professional Basketball League (B League), and is continuing his challenge toward the NBA wearing the G League uniform again this season.
