Despite making a return to Zalgiris after a five-year break this summer, when he signed a two-year deal, Tomas Dimsa will be getting playing time abroad this season.<\/p>\n
The 26-year-old will be loaned out to Spanish ACB and EuroCup side Las Palmas Herbalife Gran Canaria.<\/p>\n
This will be the third stop abroad for the swingman, as he has played for the Frankfurt Skyliners in Germany and Pallacanestro Varese in Italy before.<\/p>\n
With the departure of Dimsa, Zalgiris remains with 14 players on the roster, and this deal is also financially beneficial for the Lithuanian champions.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe invited Tomas to join the team with no thoughts of a loan, but at this moment in time it seems like the best solution for both sides. He has a valid contract with Zalgiris for the next season, too, so the doors are always open for him to come back,\u201d \u2013 noted club director Paulius Motiejunas.<\/p>\n
Dimsa only played in one Betsafe-LKL game this season, scoring 3 points and dishing out 3 assists in 16 minutes of action against Siauliai.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
