The battle between the teams Klaipėda “Neptūnas” and Alytus “Dzūkija” will begin on Friday 2020 of the Lithuanian Basketball League season.
By resolution of the Ministry of Health of the Republic of Lithuania and the Government, spectators are admitted to massive events indoors for the time being.
But if something changes and the spread of the virus in the country gains momentum and the doors to sporting events for fans close again, the league has put together some alternative plans for how the season could continue.
According to league president Remigijus Milašius, the fast approaching LKL season will unfold without interruption or interruption.
“If necessary, we will run the championship at any time of the day,” LKL President Remigijus Milašius declared visually on Monday afternoon.

The 62-year-old league chief said the league’s budget was similar at the moment, and the reduction in club money was reduced less strongly than anticipated at the start of the COVID-19 pandemic.
Falling basketball prices leveled the playing field and teams remained strong and competitive.
Milašius spoke about another possible addition to the “Rytas” team, which on Sunday afternoon announced the acquisition of Estonian Kristijanas Kitsing.
15 minutes As far as we know, this 206cm tall 29-year-old striker is likely to replace Saul Kulvietis, who suffers from ankle problems and has a guaranteed two-year contract with the club.
The LKL president believes Rytas can challenge Kaunas Žalgiris, who has dominated the last decade, and who was left by Šarūnas Jasikevičius, the head coach who became a symbol of success last summer.
“What I heard is that Rytas has not finished editing yet. There may be additional people on this team if they manage to deal with their own problems and money. You wrote about the center in the media … Maybe it won’t be, maybe it will be completely? different, even better? I don’t know how these stars will fare in Vilnius, however Andrew Goudelock hasn’t played for a long time. But it’s a really solid team. After putting it all together, there’s definitely someone in Vilnius to play with. I think this year we could have something like an ending, since I became president, that ending has not been like that.
In the summer, I joined the Sport 1 channel, and there deliberately showed the final of the LKL in 2009-2010. At that time, Romas (Romualdas Brazauskas – LKL General Director) and Kęstutis Pilipauskas were also judges. It was a final! I tell them that when there will be a final, there will be more money, ”said R. Milasius.
15 minutes According to sources, “Rytas” is interested in Arnett Moultrie, with whom Donald Kairys, like K. Kitsing, worked together two years ago in Estonia, in the Tallinn team “Kalev / Cramo”.

The businessman, who is president of the league since 2013, also reviewed the team that follows the bites of Kaunas “Žalgiris” and Vilnius “Rytas”.
“I like the way Lietkabelis came together. But one is complete, the other is playing. We will see how life will come together. Everyone praises Utena, I think Klaipeda has made some interesting decisions. Neptune, who has brought the young people together , it can mature. A new generation is coming, that’s normal. Maybe the first year is not for them yet, but I congratulate the new generation for joining LKL, “shared R. Milašius.
The Pasvalys and Kėdainiai teams also received mention. The last game with the Euroleague was seen live by the president of ALBA LKL in Berlin.
“Regarding friendly matches, both ‘Milk Stars’ and ‘Nevėžis’ look pretty good,” said R. Milašius. – Kėdainiai lost to ALBA at the end of the match, in the last half. A young and good team that did not yet have the main talent from Germany. He (Ariel Hukporti) is projected to be in the TOP 20 on next year’s NBA Rookie Exchange. During the ALBA game, he had gone for a health check in his hometown, and another talent (Sedrick Barefield) injured his arm and was unable to play. A young and promising team with many opportunities to develop and show themselves.
All teams are filling up, they are still filling up. Simas Jasaitis added Alytus “Dzūkija”. There he will fit in, he knows how to play. I think the championship can be more fun than ever. “
Before the start of the LKL season – 15 minutes A guide has been compiled for all priority teams: team presentation, manager thoughts, budgets and forecasts.
