And after the loss against KK Lietkabelis, the Lithuanian team decided to suspend Clevin Hannah, Taylor Brown and Corey Fisher, while Drew Gordon flew back to USA for a stress fracture.
As Simonas Baranauskas reports, according to coach Rimas Kurtinaitis the players didn’t act as professionals: “It’s a pity we found out too late. Maybe we would’ve played in the semis versus Lietkabelis without the players who are so negligent. I’m astonished with how they acted in Play-Offs. They were supposed to be leaders. but violated discipline by being in bars until early hours”.
Lietuvos Rytas has an extension option for next season on Gordon and Brown’s contracts, but they are unlikely to remain.
