American Jamelis Artisas, who arrived in Lithuania at the end of September and joined the Juventus club, will no longer play for Utena. The contract with the 27-year-old 201cm forward was terminated by mutual agreement.
Triples released this season
“We saw that it was difficult for him to get into the team’s game, and we did not expect it. We sat down and talked about how there is no point waiting for something, but it is better that both sides turn in different ways.
We have no complaints about the player’s work ethic, just standing out would be a better solution than continuing to work. We now have ten days before the next official match, so we will try to fill the gap in the composition, ”said club director Eimantas Skersis.
Artis managed to play six games in the Betsafe-LKL championship, during which he spent 19.5 minutes on the court, obtaining 6.3 points (44.4% from two points, 22.2% from three points, 88.9% penalties), bounced on 3.7 balls and accumulated 6 utility points each.
The club has already started looking for a change for the outgoing American. According to Skers, a rookie will not necessarily be a player in the same position.
“It just came to our notice then. Ignas Vaitkus and Gintautas Matulis are in third position, so I would definitely not rule out that we will try to invite a real player to the team.
We make too many mistakes during the match and we think a real player could help us solve this problem. I’m not saying it’s really going to be the case that a player comes, but this is one of the thoughts, “said Skersis.
The people of Utsa will return to the Betsafe-LKL battles on December 1 – they will meet the basketball players of Kėdainiai “Nevėžis-Optibet”.
