Žalgiris Kaunas concludes preseason ahead of LKL start

Overview

Žalgiris Kaunas has concluded its preseason training cycle with a decisive 86:55 victory over Wroclaw’s Slask. Following the match, player Ąžuolas Tubelis praised the team’s ability to execute coaching instructions and highlighted the positive performance of Deividas Sirvydis.

Despite the win, head coach Tomas Masiulis expressed concerns regarding team discipline. He noted that while physical conditioning has improved, the team continues to struggle with individual play rather than cohesive movement.

The Lithuanian Basketball League (LKL) is scheduled to begin its new season on September 17, featuring ten teams following the addition of Tauragė. Due to an earlier EuroLeague schedule, the season will start sooner than usual, with Žalgiris Kaunas set to open against Gargždai. The regular season is expected to conclude in mid-May, leading into the playoffs.
