Lithuania will be further weakened at the upcoming Mundobasket. Domantas Sabonis, the best among Lithuanian basketball players, misses the world’s biggest competition.
Let’s recall that Sabonis suffered a hand injury in the first round of the NBA playoffs against the Golden State Warriors, and now the worst predictions have come true.
The Lithuanian will definitely not play at Mundobasket, and his absence is a big blow for the Baltic country.
Apart from him, Rokas Gidraitis, Lukas Lekavichius, Edgaras Ulanovas and Marius Grigonis are not playing for Lithuania either.
As a reminder, Mundobasket takes place from August 25 to September 10, and the hosts are the Philippines, Indonesia and Japan. Lithuania will be in Group D, with Montenegro, Egypt and Mexico.
