The Zhejiang Lions announced on Friday that star guard Sun Minghui will miss the remainder of the Chinese Basketball Association (CBA) regular season due to a fractured right heel bone.

The 28-year-old sustained the injury during Zhejiang's narrow 98-100 loss to Shanxi Loongs on March 5. Sun landed on teammate's foot, causing his right foot to twist outward. Subsequent medical examinations revealed a calcaneus fracture requiring four weeks of recovery.

Currently topping the standings with a 31-5 record, the Lions now face mounting pressure to maintain their position without their floor general. Sun has averaged 14.8 points, 2.9 rebounds, and 9.5 assists per game this season.
