The Vilnius Rytas club broke up with Keith Benson, who joined the team in mid-December.
The capital club had a contract with player number 32 until January 31, but decided not to renew it, according to a press release.
“Keith had a contract with the club until the end of January,” said Donatas Zavackas, Ryto’s director of sports. – Helped strengthen our thin chain of skyscrapers when especially needed. We thank Keith for his game “Morning” and wish him success in his next career. “
The American had remained the Morning’s main center since mid-January, when Martin Echod suffered an ankle injury and Maurice Ndour left for China.
The Betsafe-LKL midfielder scored an average of 9.2 points, 4.2 rebounds and 8.7 utility points in six games.
In the FIBA Champions League, Benson’s scores were 7.7 points, 4.3 rebounds and 10 utility points.
Morning boss Coach Giedrius Žibėnas after the weekend’s win against Panevėžys “Lietkabelis” said the team is looking for a new tall man to help strengthen the defense.
“Keith really helped in attack, but we have a lot of problems with his defense,” the strategist said Saturday. – I would like better control of the defense, so I would like a different style of player, but this is not my only decision and we will discuss it with the team. “
