Lithuanian nationwide group GM Linas Kleiza met with all three Lithuanian NBA gamers: captain Jonas Valanciunas, Domantas Sabonis and Matas Buzelis. Throughout conversations, Kleiza puzzled if he had made a mistake by not going to america earlier to fulfill the nation’s stars. “Possibly I ought to have instructed Jonas (Valanciunas) and Domantas (Sabonis) earlier how vital they had been. It appeared to me that it was apparent that this group was theirs. Possibly that was my mistake,” Kleiza admitted on the present ‘Kleiza vs Tiskevicius.’ “At first of the season, the gamers don’t wish to speak concerning the nationwide group, so the journey was left for later, it’s a disgrace that it was in opposition to such a background. I believe that as a lot as doable, constructive steps had been taken.” -via BasketNews / April 8, 2025
