  • Last season, he played for Kauno ลฝalgiris, posting statistics in the EuroLeague and Lithuanian league.

Lithuanian basketball player Laurynas Birutis is reportedly set to join a new team in Spain, according to media reports. The 213 cm tall center is expected to bolster the roster of Casademont, a team that finished 15th in the Spanish league last season but is aiming for a more ambitious lineup in the upcoming season.

This move would mark Birutis's return to Spain, where he previously played as a foreign player. Between 2020 and 2022, the 28-year-old represented the Monbus Obradoiro team in Santiago de Compostela.

Last season, Birutis played for Kauno ลฝalgiris. In the EuroLeague, he averaged 4.1 points, 2.4 rebounds, and 5.2 efficiency points per game. Domestically in the Lithuanian league (LKL), his statistics were higher, with an average of 8.7 points, 4.3 rebounds, and 11.5 efficiency points per game.

Casademont's new addition, American Caleb Homesley, is already considered one of the team's most significant signings for the new season. Birutis's addition is expected to further strengthen the team's ambitions.
