Donatas Motiejunas is very close to renewing with AS Monaco. This was specified by the player himself to BasketNews upon his arrival at the Lithuanian national team camp. Motiejunas, 32 years old, was on an expiring contract with Monaco, the team that brought him back to EuroLeague after a 10-year break in the summer of 2021. Last EuroLeague season, Motiejunas averaged 8.5 points (2FG: 63.5%; 3FG: 25.0%), 3.7 rebounds, and 9.9 PIR over 41 games (17 minutes).
Motiejunas expressed optimism, stating: “My contract negotiations haven’t concluded yet, but I believe everything will be finalized in the next few days”
When asked to confirm his stay in the EuroLeague next season, Motiejunas responded with the following line: “I can’t say it’s definite right now, as the signatures haven’t been set, but all indications point towards a ‘yes.'”
It should be noted that Panathinaikos was interested in the player.
