Chen Chien-chou recovers from heart attack amid PLG resignation rumors
Chen Chien-chou, the Vice President of the P. LEAGUE+ (PLG), recently underwent surgery following an acute myocardial infarction. Chen attributed his medical emergency to exhaustion and chronic sleep deprivation resulting from his intensive management of the basketball league.
Following media reports suggesting that Chen was being pressured to resign due to failed merger negotiations between the PLG and the T1 League, the PLG issued an official statement. The league dismissed these claims as speculation, asserting that Chen remains in his position and that league operations, including preparations for the seventh season, are proceeding normally and in cooperation with all member clubs.
Chen has expressed his intention to return to his professional duties once his health stabilizes, noting that he has already communicated with club chairmen to confirm the stability of league relationships.
