According to BasketNews sources, the Lithuanian team is in the final stages of signing former Anadolu Efes Istanbul guard Isaiah Taylor.

Things were made official later today.

Signed as a temporary replacement for the injured Shane Larkin, Taylor played 11 games for the Turkish team, averaging 2.6 points and 1.6 PIR per game.

The American guard was signed to a non-guaranteed contract, and the club decided not to renew it after it expired.

Taylor became a free agent on January 2nd. EuroLeague players can switch teams until the start of Round 18.

The 1.91-meter guard played for UCAM Murcia in the Spanish Liga Endesa last season, averaging 15.2 points on 43.2% three-point shooting while dishing out 3.4 assists per game.
