Mindaugas Kupšas, who shone in the Lithuanian Basketball League (Betsafe-LKL) last season, will soar abroad.
It has been officially announced that the 217cm tall 30-year-old center has signed a contract with the Kaohsiung Aquas Club, which is competing in the Taiwan Championship.
The fights of this league will start only in the first days of December, so M. Kupšas will start the season in Lithuania. It has been officially announced that the pivot will play in the ranks of Juventus de Utena and will be there for two months.
“Mindaugas knows our system well and our system is very suitable for Mindaugas, so there were no long discussions after receiving the offer. Mindaugas will help us in the qualifying phase of the Champions League, he will play half of the first round of the LKL and we will have plenty of time to find a player for the heavy forward position. At the moment, this position will be filled by Norbertas Giga and Vytautas Šulskis, sometimes Tomas Lekūnas. Last season, Mindaugas was one of the most useful basketball players in the league, so keeping it for at least a couple of months is already a significant achievement for our club, ”said E. Skersis, director of the Juventus club.
Juventus are looking for a tough forward and two players. Norbert Giga will be able to move to the “fourth number” position, which he did in Klaipeda’s “Neptune”. Meanwhile, M.Kupšas and Rokas Gustys will form a tandem of centers. Utena residents will participate in the selection of the FIBA Champions League.
