"Unfortunately, he (Regimantas Miniotas) has problems with a hand. He just suffered a setback during a practice. We will see what happened, but I do not believe that he will be able to fly with us to Kazan," Jure Zdovc told BasketNews.

Tomorrow, Zalgiris will play their second Turkish Airlines EuroLeague double-week game against UNICS Kazan. The duel starts at 17:00 CET.

The Lithuanian powerhouse is also missing Joffrey Lauvergne and Paulius Jankunas in the big men department.

The French center is back to working out after a shoulder injury but is not expected to play yet. Team captain Paulius Jankunas is still sidelined after meniscus surgery.

Regimantas Miniotas, who arrived in Kaunas on November 18, is averaging 2 points and 1 rebound in four EuroLeague games (5.5 minutes) and posting 6 points, 3.3 rebounds, and 1.3 assists over three Lithuanian Basketball League contests (12.3 minutes).
