Zalgiris Kaunas has suffered a blow to its guard rotation, as Dovydas Giedraitis is slated to be out indefinitely after suffering an injury in the King Mindaugas Cup semifinal game against BC Siauliai. According to an announcement by Zalgiris, Giedraitis has a torn thigh muscle and will not be able to play on the courts for an undefined amount of time.
Kazys Maksvytis, the head coach of the Lithuanian national team, has revealed the roster for the upcoming FIBA EuroBasket 2025 Qualifiers. The list contains six EuroLeague players, with Rokas Giedraitis representing Crvena Zvezda Meridianbet Belgrade, and five players coming from Zalgiris Kaunas -- Lukas Lekavicius, Tomas Dimsa, Dovydas Giedraitis, Edgaras Ulanovas, and Laurynas Birutis.
With the EuroBasket preparation cycle gaining momentum, Lithuania announced the departure of a big man. Laurynas Birutis of Zalgiris Kaunas is set to leave the national team following four friendly games. As stated by coach Kazys Maksvytis, Birutis has a similar profile to Jonas Valanciunas and Domantas Sabonis, therefore the specialist needs different type of player.
