BasketNews reported on May 31, 2025, that Deividas Sirvydis, a 24-year-old Lithuanian wing and 2019 NBA Draft second-round pick, is expected to remain with Zalgiris Kaunas under a new contract extending at least through the 2025-26 season. Despite market interest due to an exit clause in his previous deal (running through 2027), the new agreement could keep him in Kaunas beyond that, following his standout performance this season.
Impressive EuroLeague Season
Sirvydis averaged 8.4 points, shooting 51.5% from two-point range and 38.8% from three, while adding 2.6 rebounds and 0.8 assists in 16 minutes across 34 EuroLeague games, per BBallytics data. He scored 14+ points in eight games, including a career-high 19 points against Panathinaikos Athens. Among players under 25, he ranked as a top scorer with the third-best three-point percentage in that group, solidifying his role as a key sharpshooter for Zalgiris.
Impact on Zalgiris
Sirvydis posted the third-best net rating on Zalgiris’ roster, improving the team’s offensive efficiency by 6.4 points per 100 possessions, per BBallytics. His retention ensures continuity for Zalgiris.
