According to the club's official announcement, Edgaras Ulanovas will have to miss extended time due to an injury.

The Lithuanian forward left the second match of the series yesterday during the second quarter after he felt pain in his leg. The game was ultimately won by the underdogs after overtime, and the series result is now 1-1.

Per the announcement, Ulanovas will miss about three weeks of basketball action due to a calf injury. If the rehabilitation is successful, he will only come back to the finals of the league if the club advances.

The teams play in a Best of 5 series in the league's quarterfinals. The next match is scheduled to take place in Kaunas on May 7th.
