Right after the Betsafe-LKL Finals series was over, Zalgiris immediately started setting the stones for next season, extending a contract with point guard Lukas Lekavicius.<\/p>\n
A little while back, the Lithuanian champions had agreed on an extension with Frenchman Joffrey Lauvergne, with Lukas Lekavicius returning to the green-and-white ranks on a 1+1 deal.<\/p>\n
The speedy guard made his Zalgiris main team debut in 2014 and will be going into his sixth season with the Kaunas side, having spent two in Panathinaikos.<\/p>\n
Lekavicius played 33 games in the EuroLeague, averaging 8.2 points on 50% shooting and 2.4 assists. His numbers in the domestic league are even better. Lukas averaged 10.0 points per game and 3.3 assists for 11.1 efficiency per game.<\/p>\n
\u201cI\u2019m happy with everything in Kaunas \u2013 we\u2019ve got great conditions here, and the entire season, looking at all things, wasn\u2019t bad. My girlfriend likes it here, we\u2019ll soon have a baby, so I didn\u2019t really want to look anywhere else. We\u2019ve got the national team ahead of us and next season Zalgiris has the potential to grow,\u201d \u2013 said Lekavicius.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
