Matt Mitchell arrived in Lithuania a week ago, and yesterday Ignas Brazdeikis, returning to the team after a year’s break, was the first to reach Lithuania.
“I’m happy to be back in Lithuania, it’s a great feeling. I’m looking forward to the new season. I put in a lot of work this summer, improving many elements of the game. I hope to be the best version of myself and help the team”, said I. Brazdeikis as soon as he landed at the Vilnius airport, he was also happy about the good weather.
Brady Maneks also returned to Lithuania, for whom this will be his second season in the Kaunas team.
A little later, two more “Žalgiris” legionnaires appeared at the airport: Serbian Alen Smailagičius and American Tyrone Wallace.
“I had a long journey, especially traveling with my children,” said T. Wallace, a newcomer to “Žalgiris”, who came to Lithuania with his family. – I am ready for the new season. I worked a lot this summer. I’m looking forward to meeting the coaches and teammates.”
Frenchman Sylvain Francisco and American Bryant Dunston were the last to land at Vilnius airport.
On Monday, Žalgiris players undergo medical examinations, on Tuesday the day of physical tests awaits, and the team will gather for the first training session on August 21. Already on September 4 and 8, “Žalgiris” will play its first friendly matches, which will be broadcast live by “Žalgiris Insider”.
