Zalgiris Renews Mantas Rubstavicius on 2+1 Deal

Zalgiris Kaunas announced that it has renewed the contract of Mantas Rubstavicius on a 2+1 deal. The 24-year-old Lithuanian winger will play on loan for Tofas Bursa in the first season of the new agreement. The player stands 198 centimeters tall and has already joined the Turkish club. Tofas is competing in both the national league and the EuroCup.

Rubstavicius reportedly reached an agreement to play in the NCAA with Auburn last summer. However, the deal never took effect due to obstacles that emerged later.

The player, who came through Zalgiris's youth system, began playing professionally with the second team in 2019. Featuring for the first team last season, Rubstavicius was part of his club's championship in the Lithuanian League. In league matches, he averaged 7.6 points and an 8.5 rating score.
