Ever since 2019, Rubstavicius has been playing with Zalgiris-2 and had a couple chances to try his hand with the men‘s team. He also made a debut on the EuroLeague hardwood.

Last season in the NKL, the guard averaged 10.1 points, 2.6 rebounds, 1.5 assists and an efficiency of 8.1 over the course of 20 minutes per game.

Rubstavicius is currently with the Lithuanian U20 national team, as they prepare for the European championship starting in Podgorica this weekend.
