Four Kaunas Zalgiris basketball players - Nigel Williams-Goss, Dustin Sleva, Ignas Brazdeikis, and Moses Wright - have already arrived in Lithuania.
Williams-Goss, who landed in Vilnius on Saturday night, shared his impressions of the summer.
“The summer was great - I spent time with my family, rested a bit, and, as always, worked out. During the holidays, I try to spend as much time at home as possible because I’m away during the season,” the guard shared his thoughts.
The American also spoke about his expectations for the upcoming season.
“I’m looking forward to new challenges. We have a good team of guys, so I can’t wait to see how the next season unfolds. We want to get started as soon as possible, we are eager to see what this team can do, and as always, we will be waiting for you at the games,” Williams-Goss said confidently.
Meanwhile, Sleva, who got off the plane in Vilnius around noon on Sunday, had a curious experience.
“The flight was good, but my suitcases are missing, so I hope they’ll arrive here tomorrow,” the Sleva said with a smile.
The player, who will be making his EuroLeague debut, also mentioned the atmosphere in Kaunas.
“I can’t wait to see the fans and feel the atmosphere you create. That’s why so many people want to play here, so I can’t wait to see everyone’s smiles in the first game,” replied the American.
Around the same time D. Sleva, Brazdeikis also returned to Lithuania.
“It’s great to be back, I’m looking forward to meeting my new teammates and coaches. Lithuania welcomed me with pleasant, refreshing weather, so I’m just happy to be here and to be able to get back to work,” replied the Lithuanian who grew up in Canada.
When asked if he felt rested, the Lithuanian champion spoke about feeling good.
“I feel very rested. After the surgery, I had a lot of time to recover and let my body heal. I also rested emotionally, so I feel refreshed and ready for the new season,” said Brazdeikis, sharing his multifaceted rest.
