The forward from the middle of the 23rd reached the Fuenlabrada Montakit basket in 31 minutes on Sunday. he threw 27 points (9/11 colonies, 9/10 penalties), bounced 12 balls, made 2 assists, blocked 3 pitches, and made 5 errors.

His new team won the match with a score of 101: 82.

The 213cm tall Šiauliai himself said that he was simply enjoying the forgotten basketball due to the pandemic.

“It was a pleasure to play again and after such a long break to be able to enjoy the sport we love so much. This feeling and the team’s victory were very important to me.

We have a good team, a great coaching staff. We cheer and support each other every day, and this was seen during the match, ”commented L. Birutis.

The chances of a tall man turning up in recent years have been quite limited.

In 2018, he was invited to the main Kaunas team “Žalgiris”, initially he sat on the spare bench, and then, due to a knee injury, he fell far behind.

L. Birutis, who was loaned to the Prienai Cbet team last season, gradually regained his playing skills. Last February, the “pivot” was recognized as the most useful player of the Lithuanian Basketball League (LKL) of the month, but as soon as he managed to accelerate, he had to stop due to the coronavirus that had stopped the season.

After becoming a free agent in July, he joined the Spanish club, which is also represented by another Lithuanian, Laurynas Beliauskas.
