Sabonis is recovering from injury

Domantas Sabonis is unlikely to play for Lithuania at the upcoming FIBA Basketball World Cup.

The big man is recovering from a thumb injury.

Per Basketnews, “We all hope that Domantas will play,” Maksvytis said in the Zalgiris on Air podcast. “However, we all know the valid reasons. If I had to say on his chances today, I’d say those chances are less than 50 percent.”

Lithuania was drawn into a group that includes Egypt, Mexico and Montenegro. The World Cup is scheduled to run from August 25 through September 10.
