After this heartbreaking loss, some videos spread over the social networks, where several Zalgiris players were partying in a nightclub of Kaunas.

The group of active Zalgiris fans„Green White Boys“ shared a video, where allegedly Zalgiris player Taj Webster was seen walking through the nightclub.

Reacting to this unpleasant situation, Zalgiris Kaunas released an official statement on Facebook.

„Zalgiris regrets that while the team and its fans are going through the most difficult season in the history of independent Lithuania, the actions of some team members do not correspond to the club's position and values.

The club does not tolerate such behavior and explains the situation. Although the majority of the team members that returned from the match in Panevezys came back home, the behavior of several players did not comply with the values of the club, therefore the players will be fined according to internal rules of the team.“
