The American guard is reportedly set to sign a two-year deal as a replacement for Sylvain Francisco.

Zalgiris Kaunas is reportedly on the verge of completing a major signing ahead of the new season. According to recent reports, the Lithuanian club is close to reaching an agreement with Saben Lee on a two-year contract.

The American guard is expected to replace Sylvain Francisco, who is set to leave Kaunas this summer. Lee began last season with Olympiacos before joining Anadolu Efes, where he appeared in 16 EuroLeague games and averaged 11.2 points, 3.1 assists, and 1.7 rebounds per contest.

His arrival would mark one of the most significant roster changes for Zalgiris as the club prepares for the 2026-27 campaign.
