Professional

Park was traded to Incheon Electroland Elephants for Han Hee-won in 2016. He led them to the play-offs and became the team's main point guard due to injury problems and underwhelming performances from the other starting point guards.

At the end of the 2020-21 season, Incheon Electroland Elephants was in the process of being bought over by another company and relocated to another city. Park decided to leave and was traded to Wonju DB Promy together with Kang Sang-jae in exchange for Doo Kyung-min.[3][4]
