“Glenas sees the game in Lithuania in a positive light. He wants an opportunity, he wants to play and show that he is not a conflictive person. He rings on the phone that he is serious, but we can only see him when he comes and starts training and playing”, on August 20, the portal 15 minutes Eimantas Skersis, director of Utena Juventus, said about the team’s newcomer, Glena Rice Jr.
However, Glen Rice, son of NBA champion Glen Rice (who triumphed with the Los Angeles Lakers in 2000), who was known for his sharp temper and scandals, turned these speeches to nothing.
The problems began when the attacker, who was still 29 cm tall, did not arrive in Lithuania for 29 years. 15 minutes To his knowledge, the basketball player did not make the first scheduled flight and then after purchasing a new ticket, he also fell asleep on the connecting flight to Amsterdam.
The adventures also quickly moved to Lithuania. Although the American, who had passed a negative test for COVID-19 according to SAM’s recommendations, had to spend some time between sand and self-isolation at home, he was already swinging towards the local bar the first night.
Subsequently, a public criticism about the basketball player’s living conditions in Utena and the apartment designated by the club was broadcast on the Instagram network.
The following days, the athlete’s alcohol-related problems became apparent. Just two days after arriving in Lithuania, the athlete immersed himself in the fun of Vilnius nightlife.

As it says 15 minutes According to sources, the exercise was more reminiscent of a circus than an ambitious basketball team preparing for the season. Many American speeches, laughter, landslides after each clash with teammates, offer midfielder Mindaugas Kupšas, 216 cm tall and 116 kg in weight, to test his strength outside after an inaccurate transfer from the center, conflicts with other members of Juventus: players, coaches, management.
This basketball player’s training ended prematurely. He was asked not only from the exercise, but also from the Utena club. The contract with the player was unilaterally terminated.
“This person is unpredictable and has many problems in life. We took risks, the risks did not work. The circus is over and now we have to find someone who wants to play basketball and not fall into stupidity,” said Eimantas Skersis, director of the Juventus Club, at utenosjuventus.lt.
The Juventus Club was founded in 2000, but such a spectacle surpassed any previous visit by legionaries to Utena. 15 minutes According to sources, another Juventus American, Bryant Crawford, was also “impressed” by the performance.
15 minutes According to the data, G. Rice should be the highest paid player in Utena, whose monthly salary was set at 7 thousand. euros.

A gap has emerged in the lineup puzzle that the club will try to disguise over the next week. The deceased American may be replaced by Kenny Gaines, who competed in the 2017-2019 seasons.
It is true that both parties will still have to find a financial compromise. Pasak 15 minutes sources, the price of this player on the market is a little higher – between 8-9 thousand. euros.
It was between K. Gaines and G. Rice who elected the Juventus bosses in the final version. He chose the latter because coach Žydrūnas Urbonas believed in his ability to stop this wrong.
Rice heard his name at the 35th recall of the 2013 NBA Rookie Exchange. He was the tallest basketball player in the G League in the NBA.
Known for his talent and fists, Rice has been chasing trouble throughout his career, from fighting rivals and his teammates in Israel to being detained in the United States with 240 grams of marijuana in his pockets.
