Rytas, who finished without a disqualified Kairis, returns to the path of victory / News

Donaldas Kairys, who danced right in front of the judge in the middle of the third quarter, was disqualified, and Vilnius Rytas (8-5), who was left without him, got back on the path of victory in the LKL championship.

The assistant Giedrius Žibėnas led the rest of the duel with the capital team, which 105: 81 (19:21, 31:16, 24:31, 31:13) beat Prienai’s CBet (4-9) and extended the series of guest losses to six in a row.

Kairys broke down after the referee called Arnas Butkevičius with a foul. The basketball player who disagreed with the decision was immediately called for a technical foul, and then Kairys withdrew.

The specialist entered the field of play and put the referee in the face. The judge was quick to react and immediately granted the lack of disqualification.
