Satria Muda Pertamina finally had to make quite a tough decision regarding one of its mainstay players, namely Trey Davis. The player with back number 57 is no longer part of the SM squad as of March 18. Trey was forced to end his service early due to an injury to his hip.
Trey himself has actually felt something bothering him in his hip since the first 5 matches. And it felt even more uncomfortable after finishing the next 3 games with SM. In total, after playing 8 games, Trey felt he needed time for further examination and made him miss SM's next away games. And this led to SM's decision to replace this player from Dallas, United States
“Replacing Trey with another player was of course never an option for us, that's why we consulted with specialists and carried out several medical procedures to help Trey be able to play again. But in fact, after the match in the FIBA break window, he still felt sick. After discussing it with Trey, he was more comfortable taking further medical treatment in America. "That's why we finally agreed to end this collaboration and will make player changes," said Satria Muda Manager Theodore Adi
Substitution of foreign players has become commonplace for all teams in the current league and Satria Muda. Finally, last season, SM was also left by AJ West and replaced by Rick Jackson in the middle of the season.
"Of course we are moving quickly to carry out the replacement process because the league will start soon. The team along with management considered various options available on the table. Replacing a player like Trey Davis is certainly not an easy matter, because he has a sweet and impressive record while playing for us. "For this reason, of course we need to look for someone with commensurate qualities and able to have a positive impact on the team until the end of the season," he continued.
Theo further hopes that the replacement will be a complete player, not only on the field but also in health. Because according to him, SM this season has played too many games with just 2 foreign players, and that has had a big impact on SM's game, which this season has suffered 3 defeats from 11 matches. A record that is of course not very good for a team like SM Pertamina.
"I really hope that the new figure, apart from having quality, will also be able to make this team even more competitive, especially ahead of the crucial times in the league," he concluded.
Satria Muda Pertamina of course would like to express its thanks to Trey Davis for all his extraordinary roles and performances with Satria Muda this season. Of course, we also hope that Trey will recover quickly and return to the basketball arena as soon as possible.
Thank you Trey Davis.
