The 25-year-old joins Zalgiris on a 1-year deal.<\/p>\n<p>The big man who can play two positions spent this season in the top tier Spanish division, representing Surne Bilbao. He left the Basque side and will shortly join Zalgiris.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe know Regimantas well, as he took his first professional steps in our system. He\u2019s a versatile player that can help our team in two positions. Especially now, when unexpected injuries have made even our practice process difficult. Having found out that he\u2019s left his former team, we made him an offer, as we had no possibilities to pay a buy-out. We think he hasn\u2019t reached his peak yet, and now has an opportunity to prove himself at the next level,\u201d \u2013 noted Zalgiris director Paulius Motiejunas.<\/p>\n<p>Miniotas left for Spain mid-last season after a terrific showcase for Prienai, where he averaged 18.5 points, 10.5 rebounds and 2.8 assists in the Betsafe-LKL.<\/p>\n<p>After moving to Bilbao, he averaged 7.1 points, 4.3 rebounds in the Spanish league and 7.8 points and 6.3 rebounds in the FIBA Champions League.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The 25-year-old joins Zalgiris on a 1-year deal<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":146,"featured_media":247656,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_jetpack_newsletter_access":"","_jetpack_dont_email_post_to_subs":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_tier_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paywalled_content":false,"_jetpack_feature_clip_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":"","jetpack_post_was_ever_published":false},"categories":[82,60],"tags":[],"rumors":[],"typology":[20,15725],"posizionamento":[],"class_list":["post-247655","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-euroleague","category-lituania","typology-ufficiale","typology-comunicato"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v28.3 -
