Changes await the Šiauliai Club – they will have to look for new leaders
The Šiauliai club had agreed contracts with both players, according to which, in the middle of the current summer, basketball players had certain conditions not to renew their contracts for the second season.
15 minutes As far as we know, the contracts of both provide for an exit fee, and after payment the basketball players can accept more favorable offers from other clubs.
For example, the ransom of D. Sabeckis reaches 20 thousand.
Although they are still officially affiliated with the Šiauliai club, both of them intend to move to other teams. Sabkis, who made his Lithuanian debut this summer, was the team’s main attacking player last season.
The 29-year-old 198 cm tall defender scored 9.4 points, 4.5 rebounds and 5.4 assists in the LKL Championship, with Antanas Serica’s Šiauliai team finishing fourth.
