Player Vaidas Kariniauskas, who started the season well with Nevėžis-Optibet in Kėdainiai, seized the opportunity his contract afforded him to leave the club in search of redemption. The most productive Betsafe-LKL basketball player rises to the ranks of Utena Juventus.
“I am very happy for Vaidas, because he showed once again that he is a basketball player of the highest skill,” said the team’s sporting director, Virginijus Bulotas. – Thanks to him for a great start to the season. He was a true team leader, setting a great example for his teammates. We understand his personal ambitions and wish him success in the future. “
Juventus has signed a two-year contract with the lawyer. He will join the Aukštaitija club on Tuesday.
“Both Vaidas wanted to come to us and we wanted to see this player in the team, so the discussion did not last long,” says Juventus website director Eimantas Skersis. – As we have said before, we have seen loopholes in a couple of months of the season and we hope that the arrival of Vaido will help to solve a number of problems in our game.
Kariniauskas is a basketball player who can successfully rack up points and create opportunities for others. He is a typical attacking organizer, holding the threads of the game in his hands on the field, regulating the pace, in short, managing the team. We really miss that person. Now Ignas Vaitkus will be able to return to third position, Marius Runkauskas and Martynas Gecevičius will play in second position, and Vaidas and Bryantas Crawford will share the role of the player. They will all go back to doing the work they have done for most of their careers. “
After returning to the Lithuanian basketball league after the break, the former player of the men’s basketball team immediately became probably the most outstanding basketball player in the league and led the Nevėžis-Optibet team to many victories.
During the nine games played in the Betsafe-LKL championship, Alytus recorded averages of 18.6 points, 7 assists and 20.2 utility points.
“It is really very difficult to leave Kėdainiai, because when I came here I found the organization of the highest level,” Kariniauskas said as he left the team. – Together we had a great start to the season and I think we could have made some noise this season. Still, I have to think about myself and my family. The offer from Utena Juventus was one that I couldn’t refuse. I wish the Nevėžis-Optibet club and all the fans the best of luck. “
The Nevėžis-Optibet club, which received a ransom for Kariniauskas, will not be looking for a new player in his place. After the injury, American Sedrick Barefield, who will take on the leading role, made a full recovery.
