Zalgiris Kaunas center Laurynas Birutis has recently been playing and practicing while experiencing knee discomfort, and he will now need to take a break from basketball activities.

Birutis will not travel to Valencia, where Zalgiris will face Valencia Basket in the 30th round of the EuroLeague on Thursday, and he will also miss the upcoming LKL games.

It is likely that the Zalgiris player will require an extended rest period to fully recover, while his condition will be closely monitored through individual training sessions and specialized medical examinations.

In the LKL championship, Birutis is averaging 9.8 points, 4.4 rebounds, and 13.1 efficiency points.

In the EuroLeague, he is averaging 4.6 points, 2.5 rebounds, and 5.7 efficiency points.
