“My contract negotiations haven’t concluded yet, but I believe everything will be finalized in the next few days. I’m truly grateful that the club acknowledges the significance of representing the national team not only for the people and the entire country but also for me personally. It holds a special place in my heart to be here”, the former Houston Rockets center said to the Lithuanian outlet.
The 32-year-old center is leaning toward another season with AS Monaco, where he won the 2023 LNB. “I can’t say it’s definite right now, as the signatures haven’t been set, but all indications point towards a “yes” It seems likely, but we’ll have a clearer picture once all the signatures are in place”, he added.
