With Brazdeikis in the World Cup, Lithuania – Sabonis remains a doubt

Despite her several and significant absences, her national team Lithuania can count on Ignas Brazdeikis.

There were some doubts about the physical and mental state of the Zalgiris forward, however as the General Secretary of the Lithuanian Federation pointed out to BasketNews, Mindaugas Balciunasthere is no doubt that it will strengthen “Lithuania”.

“He has no doubts. Although his difficult psychological and physical condition once led to question marks, this does not mean that he will not play. Both coach Kazis Maksvitis and himself have given positive messages. All he needs is to find some peace and rest. He just needs some time to himself after the exhausting last two years.”Balciunas specifically mentioned on the subject.

On the other hand, the messages about him Domantas Sabonis they are not so positive. The NBA star is suffering from a hand injury, and there is also the issue of his wife’s pregnancy, events that make his presence at the World Cup doubtful.

“We maintain regular communication with him, as does coach Maksvitis”said Balciunas about him Soapsand continued: “Our priority is to avoid pressuring him. The surgery, his contract, and certainly his family — all three of these factors matter greatly. It is worth noting that his wife is expecting a baby and it is due around the time of the World Cup. I don’t know which of those factors is more important, but Domantas said, “I would love to re-sign and come in safe.” At the moment, the likelihood of him re-signing is largely dependent on his health.”
