In 25 EuroLeague games, a 25-year-old forward averaged 3 points and 1.5 rebounds.

Four CSKA players officially depart from Russia: Tornike Shengelia, Marius Grigonis, Iffe Lundberg, and Johannes Voigtmann.

Zenit St. Petersburg forward Mindaugas Kuzminskas already returned to Lithuania.

Per BasketNews sources, more players from top Russian teams are concerned about their situation.

Perm Parma head coach Kazys Maksvytis officially confirmed he's leaving the Russian club as well.

"Under these circumstances, I couldn't have done otherwise. I'm not coming back to Perm. I will have financial losses, but that's not what it's all about. I followed my heart," the Lithuanian NT head coach said on Sunday.

Lokomotiv Krasnodar Kuban vice president Ginas Rutkauskas also returns to Lithuania.
