The cooperation between Utena Juventus Club and Glen Rice Jr. did not last more than a week. After training on Sunday night, the club decided to say goodbye to a 29-year-old, 198cm tall American.
“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.
Juventus from the United States, which arrived in Lithuania in just six days, managed to play a single control game, during which they scored 10 points, made 4 assists, bounced 2 balls and scored 13 utility points.
The athlete has had discipline problems in the past. While playing at the Holon club in Holon, he got into a fight with team captain Guy Pnini during training and hit him in the face. Rice was fired for that.
At the end of last season, the basketball player switched legs on the Australian national team. They got into a fight at a nightclub and was fired from the team.
The students from Žydrūnas Urbonas will play the first match of the Betsafe-LKL championship on September 19 in Vilnius against the local team Rytas.
